Boston, August 19.
Bondage is ign'rance, and he that sees,
Needs no directer cure for that disease;
Knowledge and liberty go hand in hand,
Fools only will obey, when knaves command.
[2 more lines]
N.B. These lines may be found in a poem call'd Caledonia.
. . . [rest of column deals with Stamp Act, ending with:]
most apposite lines in Addison's Cato.[:]
O Porcius, is there not some chosen curse,
Some hidden thunder in the stores of heaven,
Red with uncommon wrath, to blast the man
Who owes his greatness to his countrys ruin?
[N.B. This piece was wrote several days before the late
stirs in Boston.]
