AN INVITATION TO THE FAIR SEX TO ASSIST IN SUPPORTING THEIR
COUNTRY'S FREEDOM.
"When Julius Caesar rul'd the world, and Rome,
The cloth he wore was spun and wove at home,
His Empress play'd the distaff and the loom."
Come, sisters, come, your injur'd country calls,
Forsake the toy-shop, toilets, and the balls;
Far nobler arts demand your better care,
That female worth a monument may rear;
. . . [15 lines]
Spin the long threads, and learn with them to dance.
