An Epigram on the same Occasion.

1 So little giv'n at Chapel Door!
2 This People doubtless must be poor:
3 So much at Gaming thrown away!
4 No Nation sure so rich as they.
5 Britons, 'twere greatly for your Glory,
6 Should those, who shall transmit your Story,
7 Their Notions of your Grandeur frame,
8 Not as you give, but as you game.
