J£lufe& To all orders of chivalry, ‘■ ‘ And all knight-errant, particularly, * Those choice spirits in highflations , Who, for the public good, So nobly encourage, and praftife Thatneceffiary, Humane, and gentleman-like custom OF DUELLING, Throughout the “United States of America, And clfewhere, The following lines are moll refpeftfully dedi cated by their devoted servant, Absalom Aimwell, Ef<J. • When impious vice prevails , And impious men bear /way, the pofl Os honour is a privateJlation, Addison. Shaft Ibe frighted ichcn a mad'nan flares ? —GoJhew your si avf.s How choleric you are , and make Your bondmen tremble. Shakespear. GN high ParnafiTus mount thy horse, O mule of foremoft name ; Swift thro’ the welkin wing thy course, To lprcad a hero's fame. No common, plebian, vulgar theme Now lets the bard on fire : No common inufe, but muse supreme, Shall the high long inlpire. Ohad I twice tenthoufand tongue*, With voice full thunder-loud ; I’d roar out twice ten thousand song, To entertain the crow and. J.et others sing of aching hearts, A rid tell how lovers die ; •I fmg the Challenge — bloody dart* On luch occaiions fly. Yc murderers all, of every fort, Hot blood and cold attend ; Seconds who goto fee fair (port, While brother kills his friend. Asa fins who in walking Jlaff it/nr diggers keep conceal'd ; lie’ll lurely rile in your behalf, VVliene’erjou take the held. Yf gangers, who to shew your ft.ifl ‘1 hmnb out a neighbour’s eye ; Draw up in circles round the hill, And fbuut your champion nigh. Ye boxers of Mendoza breed, And bottle-holders too ; All w ho delight to fee men bleed, Or beat, them black and blue. Ye bullies arid bull-baiters all, At humble distance Hand ; Honour doth loudly give a call ; Come join with heart and band. The fecne doth lie up Chefnut-llreet, The view is Congress-hall ; Not far from where the belles did meet, At the grand birth-night ball. Hard by where famous Rickets rides, To entertain the towm ; Where laughter often holds his fide , When Sully ads the clown. South-east we view the Hate house yard, With verdant lawns and trees ; Where art and nature labour hard, The vulgar eye to pleaie. North-well you fee another place, Where mirthful comedy; Ixeeeds all power of fiber face ; When Rates is in the play. There Renigale with treble voice, His sleepy mufc plays ; Dull as the bag-pipe’s droning noise, Or like the peacock’s lays. T ho’ his “ fine execution 1 ’ chear The learned amateur ; I who judge mufc bymv ear, Such dullness can’t endure. But reader ! I digress too far, There (landsthe Congvefs-houfe Where fome harangue on peace and war, And fome fit mute as mouse. Some letters write, fome apples eat, And fome are cracking nuts, Wlnle gallery-clowns make noise with feet, And boys cat bcily-gyts, I iierc “ wife men from the call” do come, To set the nation right; And from the well, and louth, and fome Are full chock full of fight. Tar on the fouthon Georgia’s plains, Where the hot fun beams burn; W’here vvretefied negroes clank their chain* And feel the lash in turn. Where peflilential damps that riff Pollute the atmosphere ; Where reptiles of enormous fife, Suck in the poisoned air. Os various hue and various fihape, The natives may be found; Biped, and quadruped, and ape, And crawlers on the ground. There where the savage beads do dray. Among the tamer breed; Where men on man is wont to prey. The fiends of hell to feed. There grew a man of high degree, A statesman wonderous wife ‘ Knowi ..y the name of general G, By all who and their eyes. To him a party bow’d with awe, And call’d him their great gun ; Himfelf uplifted ’bove that law Which tea.lies vice to shun. In Jerfry—fin the world doth fay, 1 ins man his rapier drew; And flabb and who came athwart his way, just us afj'affins do. This man of might to Congrcfs came, Sent by a chosen band.— — Ainl who so fit good laws to frame, For our dear native land !!! Horror at this may chill thy blood ! But, reader, never mind ; Things often happen h're below Much of a funilar kind. W'hen, long ago, the sons of God Met on this earthly globe ; Satan came too, and brought his rod, lo fight with patient Job. Columbian JRufeum, £&♦ Now fee the rrarx in fen ite (bine, His thoughts all rrtmfon’d o’er; Like a full blooded Jacobine, Bcfmear’d with human gore. O that fome learned man would fpctk In lofty Latin rhymes ; Or tell this ftoryall in Greek, Like Homer, twenty times. Plung’d into fpeculat.iens deep, Rclpefting Georgia lands ; Wreftcd, when jufticc lay afteep, From the right owners’ hands. Baldwin with uncorrupted mind, Opposed the inonftrous fraud. With rage this made our hero Dlind, ‘And leek revenge in blood. Fie like a true bravado swore, Baldwin or lie fliould die. His Friend the bloody meflage bore Down to the Lobby, nigh. Nigh to the door that opens straight In the great Congress room; There in the lobby F did wait, Till Baldwin heard Iris doom. Baldwin withftoodthe madman’s rage; And laid this maxim down : —That Congress menJhould not engage Like bullies of the town. —■ Base is that cuftoin which began In ancient barbarous times; That man fliould coolly murder man. And honor (pring from crimes. A coward always (lands in awe, Dreading the world may jeer : Break* the motl (acred moral law, And fights, barely thro’ tear. Whereas true courage knows no fear Os what the world may lay : And he who keeps his conference clear, Will seldom go astray. True courage (hews the man of worth, In this he doth lull well, To lpurnthat cuilom from the earth, W'hich came duett from hell. When impious men are plac’d on high, And vice pervades the nation; Wife men of merit then will fly, To ieek a private Ration. Now sing aloud, God lave the cioud. Drink healths to general Wayne; Let duels ceafc, and henceforth peace Through all the Congress reign. FOR SALE, By the Subscriber ; BOARDS, inch and inch F SCANTLING.
