For Mr. Rivington's New-York Gazetteer,
A MORAL SONG,
(Set to Music by Dr. Arne, but never before printed.)
I.
If Fortune would smile, and I cannot complain
  That I oft have experienc'd her frown,
My first wish should be that I still might retain
  What the world calls at present my own:
That cheerful thro' life I might laugh away care,
Attended by hope, and unknown to despair.
. . . [13 more verses by K.C., New York, March 14, 1774]
