From the Gazatteer and London Daily Advertiser, March 30,
1756.
To the Printer, &c.
Sir, I make no doubt but every honest, sensible Briton, with
the welfare of his country at heart, and with the least
sense of his happiness under the present government, is
convinced of the necessity of the war we are now, through
force and injustice, obliged to enter . . . [28 lines]
While players, singers, fidlers, and the whole train of
buffoons, raise such immense sums at their benefits, by
voluntary bounty, shall not our country have a benefit too?
-- Who that roars for glorious liberty and independency, and
Britons strike home! but would take a ticket to humble a
perfidious foe? Sacrifice one favourite diversion in a year
to your country! Glorious thought! What prodigious sums
would not that raise! . . . [18 lines]
