+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.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at

+
+
+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+array of equipment including outdated equipment.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
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+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.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+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.

+
+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.

+
+
+Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
+paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works. See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+

+
+1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,

+form. Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+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.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR

+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+

+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,

+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+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.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+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

+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+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.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+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.
