Philadelphia, January 30. A piece of poetical entertainment
having been inserted in our paper of the 19th ultimo, Mr.
Rivington has been obliging enough to copy part of it into
his Gazette of the 5th instant, with a parody, said to be
the production of that wolf in sheep's cloathing, Parson
Odell. It is entitled, The Temple of Cloacina; a regard for
common decency, however, will not permit us to return Mr.
Rivington's compliment: But we beg leave to recommend a new
title for that parody, viz. Rivington's Royal Portable Soup
Thoroughly Digested. By their earnest addresses to
Cloacina, the poor New-York gentlemen must be in a most
deplorable habit of body:
Cloacina! hear their prayer,
Make that dirty crew thy care;
Lodge them, Goddess, every man,
Prisoners in thy close-stool pan.
