TO THE KING OF ENGLAND.
Philadelphia, Wednesday, November 11, 1778.
  The rain pours down--- the city looks forlorn---
  And gloomy subjects suits the howling morn.
  Close by my fire, with doors and windows fast,
  And sweetly sheltered from the driving blast,
  To gayer thoughts I bid a day's adieu,
  To spend a scene of solitude with you.
