The Bell Cart will go through Boston before the end of the
month, to collect rags for the paper mill at Milton, . . .
[10 lines, listing places that collect rags]
Rags are as Beauties, which concealed lie,
But when in Paper, how it charms the Eye:
Pray save Rags, new Beauties to discover,
For paper truly, every one's a lover:
By the pen and press such knowledge is display'd,
As wou'dn't exist if paper was not made.
Wisdom of things, mysterious, divine,
Illustriously doth on paper shine.
