EPIGRAM spoken extempore, on reading the proclamation for a
general fast.
  What needs a proclamation for a fast?
  If our law-gives were not in such haste, 
  The business to their hands might still be done, 
  And they of censure might no hazard run;
  Thro' the expense of armies and a fleet
  We quickly shall have nothing left to eat.
