USE,-help me on, an eafy gallop,
To fay, what has been done at Salop
When, t'other day, each mongrel wb-g,
And canting cur, look'd mortal big;
When a poor Church of England matron
Could pleafe no Pr-fb-t-r--n patron ;—
And, when their loufy low-church coufins
Wou'd have demolish'd her, by dozens.
And firft,-(if I may gallop on)

I' th' room of her, that's dead and gone,
Some other matron, (we'll fuppofe,)
Wou'd foon have properly been chofe.
Wherefore, in foul, clandeftine fashion,
Which put good people in a paffion,
"Tis faid, fome fchifmaticks demure,
Of tender conscience, (to be fure 1)
Wou'd fain have foifted, in good truth!
On Shrewfb'ry's befpital, forfooth,
One of their own malignant fect;
Enough th' infirm'ry to infect.

But fleady L-ST-R, then b'ing downą
Was, at that jun&ture, in the town,
And all the good, he can, will do
Above, and in the country too;
On upright dealing purely bent,
Both in, and out of parliament;
Not proud, or ftern, or oftentatious,
But prudent, folid, and fagacious.
So, having fmelt the matter out,
And finding what they were about,
He told the peftilent t-b-tb-mp-rs,
And retrograde encroaching rip — 16,
He could not much commend their zeal, in
Such ugly underhand foul dealing,
But well might blame thee-worfe than fools,
For difregarding ftated rules :

And, having made this full detection,
Infifted on a fair election.

Each fordid knave, and ftupid dunce,
Sets out a canyaffing at once,

And out of holes and corners creep
Vile, rav'nous wolves, array'd like sheep.
The children of this world (in short,)
And crafty fouls of ev'ry fort,
Hurry to be, with all their might,
Beforehand with the fons of light.

Thus ftinking wh-gs and four diff-nt-rs
Affociate ftraight at all adventures;
And modern faints, too near a-kin,
So void of thame, tho' not of fin,
With Mammonites both great and small,
(Occafional confermifis, all)

In loving fort foon flock together,
Like birds (I fancy) of a feather.

All of the leaven Oliverian,
Like, wond'rous well, the prefbyterian :
And ev'ry wb-g, that has a vote,
Refalves her int'reft to promote,
And make her foon the nurfing mother;
But, (burning fhame) t' affift the other
Seems quite determin'd to decline,
The widow, tho' of a divine!
And, ev'ry way, by far more fitting,
Than her, the mp was for admitting.
The female of the tribe fanatical,
Turbulent, faucy, and fchifmatical,
Sure of the place began to boast,
Tho' reck'ning thus without her hoft.
She grandly takes upon her ftate;
Threatens fome folks fubordinate,
Whom after food, the thinks too eager,
With diet flender, as foup meagre ;
And is determin'd to bring down,
(She puts on then a grievous frown,)
Some ftrutting bellies, grown as big
As thofe of any kept up pig ;—
Partial refpect, for fome difclofes,
And others to difplace propofes.
And thus, before they're batch'd, (Od's dic-
kins!)

She reckons, (as we say,) her chickens.

The Church's genuine children chufe,
With ftaunch unstainable true blues,
Taffert th' aforefaid widow's caule,
And injur'd articles and laws :
To which, the like regard too paid is
By lovely, pure, well nurtur'd ladies.

At last, th'appointed time approaches;
The town gets pretty full of coaches:
To Salop, ere the day arrives,

Each diftant benefactor drives ;—
Brave, zealous voters, many a one:
And, lo! th' election now comes on.
Some crafty lawyers ftrain their lungs,
And profitute their venal tongues,
Endeav'ring to difqualify,

Thro' Sopbitry, and many a !-,

(Juft like fome c-rt—rs pl-c'd, or p-nf—n'd,)
The widow, I before have mention'd.
"As for th' infirmary", they faid,
And feem'd quite certain on this head,-
That "all,-(O! the decifion clever!)
In any office whatsoever,

Ought amongft fervants to be number'd,
And not with families encumber'd".

'Twas answer'd, to the strange objection,"The widow now had no connection,

729

At least, not any fuch us might
At all invalidate her right:
And, that their arguments, in short,
Were plainly of the shuffling fort."
Added fagacious MR. H.LL,
Who to the poor gives many a spill,
I find, that you'd my father have
To be no better than a flave;
And, by your wonderful award,
The treasurer would fain difcard.”
This inf'rence, ev'ry body must
Acknowledge was extremely just ;
And yet,-upon my honest word?
Their way of Reas'ning feems abfurd.
The good S-R. R-WL-ND, (worthy man !)
Will help bis country, all he can,
But not in flavish manner ferve
Thofe, that from truth or juftice (werve.
By fundry gentlemen that fpoke,
The quibbling, queer, dissenting folk,
And wb-ft-rs, were a while confounded,
Who,-not with bashfulness abounded.
To other balderdash pretences,
As if not in their fober fenfes,
The fopbifters had then recourse,
Such is of impudence the force
But the falfe brethren were confuted,
And feurvy nincompoops non-fuited.
Having themselves fo well acquitted,
The boneft party was permitted

To give their votes ;-which foon out number'd,

Thofe of the Wights with craft encumber'd, The tory ladies were all shining, And fitting, in a room adjoining; Where they'd have had their votes collected; But their petition was rejected:" For fome four counsellor, or other, Pretended in a mighty pother, That they in publick muft appear, And faid, with an immodest fneer,"Are they, with all their airs and graces, Afham'd forfootb! to fhew their faces ? The Sparklers, quick at repartee, Sent word in answer,-"No not we ;But we're afraid, ('tis true i' faith 1) Left of fome folks the pois' nous breath Should, if we come amongfi em, 'taint us, Howe'er-we'll venture,-if they want us." They then, (their compliments thus paid,) In public their appearance made,Railli'd the brethrenf alse, and noted Their arbitrary deeds,then voted. A great majority protected The widow, whom the remp rejected; And her, in fpite of putrid foes, The matron, at th' infirm'ry, chofe. And thus perchance, a ftop was put, To fome more scurvy fchemes on foot. Indeed the adverfaries faw," That they had better to withdraw, The sub-gs, and their affeciates four Found, how inferior was their pow'r; And fo, the brethren, in despair And with regret, let drop th' affair; Since, without doubt, they needs must know, How 'twas extremely like to go,
