On the Poor of Boston being employed in paving the Streets.
In spite of rice, in spite of wheat,
Sent for the Boston-Poor--to eat,
In spite of brandy, one would think,
Sent for the Boston-Poor--to drink;
Poor are the Boston-Poor indeed,
And needy, tho' there is no need:
They cry for bread; the mighty ones,
Instead of bread, give only stones.
RISUM teneatis? ha! ha! ha!
Erratum. In the advertisement for a division of lands, of
Colonel Heathcote, in one of the Commissioner's names, for
Penn read Pell.
