To put the merry table in a roar,
And shake the sides with laugh-convulsing fit.
O yes! in sweet simplicity I glory—
To her we owe a charming little story.
WILLIAM PENN, NATHAN, AND THE BAILIFF.
A Tale.
As well as I can recollect,
It is a story of fam’d William Penn,
By bailiffs oft beset, without effect,
Like numbers of our Lords and Gentlemen.
