Sir Hercules Langrishe's Verses on Miss Farren playing for the Small Debtors in Dublin [7 flourishes]
The lovely Farren's tender breast, Glowig with generous Sympathy, Aspires to comfort the oprest, 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 surly fights the best who beats his Man.
