[3] Provok’d Husband.
To the Author of the Whitehall Evening Post.
Jan. 12.
SIR,
As you are an impartial Writer, I dare say you will do justice on both sides.
The Verses on the Laureat, in yours of Saturday last, have occasion’d the following reply; which I hope you will give a Place to in your next, to show that we can be quick as well as smart, upon a proper occasion. And as I think it the lowest mark of a scoundrel to make bold with any man’s character in print, without subscribing the true name of the author; I therefore desire, if the Laureat is concern’d enough to ask the question, that you will tell him my name, and where I live, till then I beg leave to be known by no other than that of your servant,
Francis Fair-play.
Ah! hah! Sir Coll. is that thy way,
