Cash for Rags. . . [11 lines giving notice that the New
Hampshire Gazette wants to buy rags to make paper]
  Rags are as beauties, which concealed lie,
  But when in paper, how it charms the eye:
  Pray save your rags, new beauties to discover,
  For paper truly, every one's a lover;
  By th' pen and press such knowledge is display'd,
  As wou'dn't exist if paper was not made.
  Wisdom of things, mysterious, divine,
  Illustriously doth on paper shine.
