Sir Hercules Langrishe's Verses on Miss Farren playing for the Small Debtors in Dublin [7 flourishes]

Tho' lovely Farren's tender breast, Glowing with generous Sympathy, Aspires to comfort the opprest, And bid Captivity be free-

Yet still her kind exertions fail;

 Her charms retract the boon they gave;

And while her magic breaks the jail,

 Her eyes make every man a slave!

                               Epigram

On the dispute whether Johnson and Big Ben fought fair in falling with[ou]t a blow. [3 flourishes]

  A mighty question now divides the town,
  On standing up to box or falling down;
  But in prize fighting what avails the plan?
  He surely fights the best who beats his Man.
