Written in a Newsman’s Shop.
Here lie, enwrapt within a dirty sheet,
Pic-Nics unsold—of course to fame unknown;
Fair Fashion’s patronage they did not meet,
And Grenville still may claim them for his own.
Large were its pages, and its type most clear,
Its price t’ ennoble did as largely tend:
But fourteen numbers clos’d its bright career;
It found thus soon (what all must find) an end.
No farther seek its merits to disclose,
