To the Lawyer, (an Orator) who lately pleaded the cause of
the Free Masons, on his unnecessary introduction of a sever
and unmerited reflection upon women.
"What base and unjust accusations we find,
Arise from the malice, and spleen of mankind!
One would hope," my good Brother, "that scandal would
spare
The tender, the helpless, and delicate Fair!"
What mortal eye can e'er discover
In you, the Gentleman, or Lover.
Free, and accepted is your stile,
At which you must allow a smile.
