+AN
+
+HEROIC EPISTLE
+
+TO
+
+LORD CRAVEN.
+
+
+    Too long have Britain's sons with proud disdain
+    Survey'd the gay Patrician's titled train,
+    Their various merit scann'd with eye severe,
+    Nor learn'd to know the peasant from the peer:
+    At length the Gothic ignorance is o'er,
+    And vulgar brows shall scowl on LORDS no more;
+    Commons shall shrink at each ennobled nod,
+    And ev'ry lordling shine a demigod:
+    By CRAVEN taught, the humbler herd shall know,
+    How high the Peerage, and themselves how low.
+    Illustrious Chief, your eloquence divine
+    Shall raise the whole right honourable line;
+    All shall with joy your bright example view,
+    And love the tribe that boasts a son like you;
+    While Liberty shall lead you to her throne
+    With jocund hand, and claim you for her own.
+
+    When warm in youth, on Isis' learned shore,
+    You early listen'd to her sacred lore;
+    Abhorr'd the dull confinement of the schools,
+    Contemn'd their statutes, and despis'd their rules.
+    Ev'n when to burst their bonds your ardor fail'd,
+    And law, tyrannic law, at last prevail'd,
+    Tho' forc'd a while to bend beneath the yoke,
+    Its weight your dauntless spirit never broke,
+    Still rankled in your breast the fatal wound,
+    Tho' years had o'er it roll'd their circling round,
+    On [A]SCROPE, tho' late, you rear'd your threat'ning arm,
+    And shew'd the will without the pow'r to harm.
+
+    With Freedom's warmth, tho' thus your bosom glow'd,
+    From no licentious heat the ardour flow'd
+    When peaceful leaders rul'd with gentle sway,
+    Still were you first their mandates to obey;
+    Tho' Proctors, arm'd with all th' insulting pride
+    Of legal pow'r, your daring soul defy'd,
+    Yet to the ruler of the festive band
+    You bow'd, nor scorn'd the toast-master's command;
+    Obedient drank each penal draft of wine,
+    And only fear'd a salt and water fine.
+
+    So burn'd your youthful heart with Freedom's flame,
+    Such the fair dawning of your future fame;
+    But when by time matur'd, the Peerage spread
+    Its dazzling lustre round your honor'd head,
+    The sacred fire that warm'd before your breast,
+    Blaz'd boldly forth to all mankind confess'd,
+    Immortal Liberty with blooming charms,
+    Woo'd you so strongly to her heavenly arms,
+    So fierce your passion, that you could not bear
+    Another vot'ry should her favors share;
+    For still your heart Othello's plan approves,
+    Nor keeps a corner in the thing it loves
+    For others uses; those who madly brave
+    Attack the rights you have, or think you have,
+    Shall weep their rashness, that in luckless hour,
+    Oppos'd th' omnipotence of lordly pow'r.
+    When SEYMOUR insolently dar'd invade,
+    Manors by your possession sacred made,
+    From feasts you deign'd to grace, you wip'd his name,
+    And gave him o'er to infamy and shame:
+    And when, tho' late, he made a bold appeal
+    To arms, from frowning Peers and fawning zeal,
+    And dar'd attempt with sacrilegious sword,
+    To offer equal combat to a LORD,
+    Sudden your noble limbs your coursers bore,
+    From Berkshire's hills to Avon's distant shore:
+    And eager to preserve from foul disgrace,
+    Th' unsullied honors of a noble race,
+    Rather than have it said you meanly stood
+    To stain your faulchion with Plebeian blood,
+    You yielded bravely to a harsher fate,
+    And made submissions to the man you hate.
+    To save their dignity from scandal's breath,
+    Thousands have fearless fac'd approaching death;
+    Your dauntless action merits more applause,
+    Who courted infamy in honor's cause.
+
+    Proceed! proceed! and still our wond'ring eyes
+    With deeds magnanimous like these surprize,
+    And lest some wretch, phlegmatic, dull, and cold,
+    Without applause such actions should behold,
+    Aloud to list'ning crowds your worth proclaim,
+    Yourself the herald of your deathless fame.
+    To spacious Berks your dignity avow,
+    From Buscot's meads, to Windsor's lofty brow,
+    Till LOVEDEN's daring insolence is o'er,
+    And POWNEY cross your fav'rite schemes no more;
+    Your sacred game, till lawless SEYMOUR spare,
+    Nor hot-brain'd PYE another challenge bear.
+    Shall humble Squires presume, by act or word,
+    T' oppose the wishes of a mighty LORD;
+    On high affairs attempt to give their voice,
+    Or in elections e'er avow their choice;
+    Pour in your rabble to each factious town,
+    And Freedom's sounds, by shouting numbers drown,
+    Till Thames' unpeopled waves by READING glide,
+    Without one bargeman left to chear the tide;
+    And NEWBURY's desart streets lament in vain,
+    Their servile inmates gone to swell your train.
+    Stout FERDINANDO, your obsequious slave,
+    Once a rude ruffian, now a pliant knave,
+    With Stentor's voice shall swell your pageant pride,
+    And boldly thunder nonsense on your side:
+    The gentle Colonel, simpering SELLWOOD too,
+    His face with port and patriot-ardor blue,
+    With vacant eye shall view your great intent,
+    Shall scratch his empty head, and smile assent.
+    There too my muse, with rough, tho' honest song,
+    Shall chant your virtues to the admiring throng,
+    Display your various worth in humble lays,
+    And teach the gaping rabble how to praise,
+    Re-echo to their ears your fav'rite word,
+    And shew respect should always wait MY LORD.
+    Perhaps, (indulge your Poet's fairy dream),
+    Perhaps my verse adorn'd by such a theme,
+    May in some bark, our navy sail t' explore,
+    Be safely wafted to the Atlantic shore:
+    How will those pious Chiefs delight to hear
+    The kindred virtues of a British Peer?
+    How will thy deeds enchant, with gentle sway,
+    The Patriot sons of Massachuset's Bay?
+    For all your ardor fires the illustrious train,
+    In Council bold, but bashful on the plain:
+    How will their grateful bosoms love the verse,
+    Whose honest lines such great exploits rehearse?
+    I see their hands prepare the verdant bough,
+    I feel their laurel wreaths surround my brow;
+    While that long-honour'd strain, whose magic charms
+    So oft has called the gallant race to arms,
+    Shall now at length give place to newer lays,
+    And Yanky-doodle yield to CRAVEN'S praise.
+
+
+                        THE END.

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
