Reason for Mr. FOX’s avowed contempt of one PIGOT’s Address to him.

Who shall expect the country’s friend,
The darling of the House,
Should for a moment condescend
To crack a [1]PRISON LOUSE.

ANOTHER.

On one PIGOT’s being called a LOUSE.

PIGOT is a Louse, they say,
But if you kick him, you will see,
’Tis by much the truest way,
To represent him as a FLEA.

ANOTHER,

For servile meanness to the great,
Let none hold PIGOT Cheap;
Who can resist his destined fate?
A LOUSE must always CREEP.

ANOTHER.

PIGOT is sure a most courageous man,
“A word and blow” for ever is his plan;
And thus his friends explain the curious matter,
He gives the first, and then receives the latter.

[1] The substantive in the marked part of this line has been long an established SYNONYME for Mr. PIGOT, and the PREDICATE, we are assured, is not at this time less just.
