Sir Hercules [Langrisher's?] [Vener?] 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 a blow. [3 flourishes]

  A mighty question now divides the [four?]
  On standing up to box or falling down;
  But in prize fighting what avails the plan?
  He [illegible] fights the [illegible] who beats his Man.
        [6 flourishes]
