Frederick Town, November 3, 1773. . . [5 lines, signed] B.H.
  Why did I leave my cheerful home,
  Where peace and safety dwelt--
  Since forth I foolish went to roam,
  Alas! what have I felt!
  . . . [5 verses]
  To idle shews I idler ran,
  The race, the ball, the play;
  What ills there lurk for thoughtless men,
  Tho' all seems smiling, gay!
  . . . [10 more verses]
