From a late London paper. Plymouth. Sir, The following
lines were written in behalf of several old, but ingenious
and useful artificers, who, with many others, were turn'd
out of the service at the late discharge of shipwrights, &c.
in our yard. If you have so much concern for the sufferings
of the helpless, as to insert them in your paper, you will
oblige some of your constant readers, and particularly, your
humble servant, [signed] A.B.
What falsehoods some in post advise:
And to bad actions add base lies:
Wound men in fortune, and in name;
Discard them first, and then declame!
. . . [16 more lines]
