A RAPSODY, occasioned by a review of the common misery of
human kind, especially in that part of the world called
Great-Britain.
Scarce Egypt's land more dire disasters knew,
Then we are daily destin'd to run thro'.
Itch, agues, jaundice, jealousy, and horns;
. . . [14 lines]
Gamesters, informing constables, and bullies;
News-mongers, ballad-singers and inditers,
Journalists, chimney-sweepers, and reciters;
. . . [23 lines]
Farce, pantomime, and tumbling in the stage:
. . . [18 more lines follow]
