[The following is a second ad for the publication of Mr.
Godfrey's poetry, but with another example from the book.]
Philadelphia, May 17, 1764. Proposals for printing by
subscription, the poetical works of the late Mr. Thomas
Godfrey, of this place. Compiled from the original
manuscripts, and properly digested. . . [33 lines]
Extracts from the Tragedy of The Prince of Parthia
CURIOSITY.
Curiosity's another name for man,
The blazing meteor streaming thro' the air,
Commands our wonder and admiring eyes,
With eager gaze we trace the lucent path,
"Til spent at length it shrinks to [ ] nothing.
While the bright stars, which ever steady glow,
Unheeded shine, and bless the worlds below.
