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.
