New-Haven. . . [34 lines about the Stamp Act] Those who
lately set themselves up for patriots and boasted a generous
love for their country, are they now suing (O disgrace to
humanity!) are they now creeping after the profits of
collecting the unrighteous American Stamp Duty! If this is
credible, what may be not believe? Where are the mercenary
publicans who delight in nothing so much as the dearest
blood of their country? Will the cries of your despairing,
dying brethren be music pleasing to your ears? If so, go
on! Bend the knee to your Master Horseleach, and beg a
share in the pillage of your country.
. . . [3 lines, 41 lines, signed] Cato.
