A Battle! A Battle! (Extended) - 16
Thee’ll find we will not trick or lie.
The SCHOOL-BOY’S ANSWER, &c.
Hold, hold thy Gab proud Is—1 go no further
We know our Duty-not to Steal or Murther;
The Laws of God had thy Son understood,
His Hands had never been imbru’d in Blood,
Nor thou bought off with thy ill gotten Pelf,
That which thou richly dost deserve thy self
Though He escap’d, yet will the lasting Stain,
On thee and thy Posterity remain.
