TO THE PUBLICK OF CONNECTICUT. . . [26 lines discussing
slavery and artists' attempts to portray slavery] I have now
only time to insert Swift's suppostious description of his
corporal parts, in order to forward the supreme performance
of Hogarth.  I had forgot to mention that the shade of that
excellent master of musick (Mr. Handel) is also supposed to
be present, carefully composing tunes to the different
productions of his fellow-spirits. . . [followed by 71 more
lines describing horrors of slavery]
