27 May 1757:22,23 (34)
For justice, Britons! let us loudly call,
Traitors must either bleed, or England fall.
[This heads a 29-line article on Admiral Byng, who is
condemned to death for his role in Britain's loss of Minorca
to the French, and who was the subject of much poetry in
previous editions. The article is followed by]
The C----t M----l's Address to his M----y.
Most gracious Sir,
The great C---t M----l now begins to sicken,
And find at last that we are conscience stricken,
Sad supplicants in B--g's behalf we come,
And humbly beg that you'll defer his doom.
