Proposals for printing by subscription, an excellent
performance, entitled, War: Being an Heroic Poem: From the
taking of Minorca by the French, to the Raising of the Siege
of Quebeck, By General Murray. The price to subscribers
will be half a dollar a book or an equivalent in Old Tenor;
those who subscribe for six books, to have a seventh grates.
. . . [24 lines, 64 more lines, consisting of excerpts from
the author's preface]
In that great day, Wolfe's warring spirit fled!
And Monckton, for his King and country bled!
When conq'ring Townshend, chac'd the flying Gauls;
And terror shook Quebec's exalted walls!
Whilst leading fiercely on, to toilsome fight,
Cohorts of heroes, 'gainst unequal might.
