I O N D O N, March 1. PROLOGUE to the new Tragedy of AGIS. Spoken by Mr. Garrick. F, in thefe Days ‘of Luxury and Eafe, A Tale from Sparta’s rigid State can pleafe; If Patriot Plans'a Briti/b Heart can warm ; If Kings afferting Liberty, can charm ; If Virtee fill a grateful Afpe& wear ; Check not at Agis’ Fall, the gen'rous Tear. He view’d his Subjets with a Parent’s Love, With Zeal, to fave a finking People, ftrove ; Strove their chang’d Hearts with Glory to inflame, To ‘mend their Morals, and reltore their Fame ; Till Fiftion rofe, with Murder at her Side ; Then moarr’'d his Country,~perfever’d,—and dy’d. That Country once by Virtue was rever'd, Admir'd by Greece, by haughty A/ia fear'd ; Then Citizens and Soldiers were the fame ; And Soldiers Heroes—for their Wealth was Fame. Then for the Brave the Fair referv’d her Charms, And fcorn'd to clafp a Coward in her Arms : The Trampet call’'d ; fhe feiz'd the Sword & Shield, Array’d in Hefte her Hufband for the Field ; And fighing, whifper’d in a fond Embrace, ¢t Remember,— Death is better than Difgrace.” The widow’d Mother fhew’d her parting Son, The Race of Glory which his Sire had run : < My Son, thy Flight alone I fhall deplore ; ¢t Return vi€torious !—or return no more ; " While Beauty thus with patriot Zeal combin’d, Aud round the Laurell’d Head her Myrtls twin'd 5 Whilft all confefs’d the Virtuous were the Great ; Fame, Valour, Conqueft grac’'d the Spartan State : Her Pow’r congenial with her Virtue grew, And Freedom’s Banner o’cr her Phalacx flew 3 But {oon as Virtue dropt her fick’ning Head, Fame, Valour, Conqueft, Pow’r, and Freedom fled. May this {ad Scene improve each Briton’s Hear! Roufe him with Warmth to aét a Briton’s Part ! Prompt him with Sparta’s nobleft Sons to vie ! To live in Glory ; and in Freedom die ! From the ConnecticuT GazeTTE, of May 13. To the Army mow inlifiing for the Invafion of Canada. Dear COUNTRYMEN, Y Heart is towards the valiant Sons of Nazv- England, who fo willingly offer Themfelves, to jeopard their Lives in the high Places of the Field, for the Honour of their King, and the Safety of their Country.—Go, like noble Heroes, with Eyes and Hearts lift up to Heaven ; Go, and may the Lorp or Hosts, give you Succefs.—Mean while, we your Brethren and Friends, through all the Land, will bear you on our Hearts, every Day, before the Throne of Grace.—Our aLL is at Stake; indeed it is ! and if Gop go not forth with You, there is no Hope : Vain are our Fleets, and vain our Twenty Thoufand. Wilt not thou, O God ! awho haff cafl us off ? Wilt not thou, O God | go Sforth with our Hofls 2 Give up Help. from Trouble, for wain is the Help of Man. Let not an Oath, nor any profane Word ke heard in 8ll the Camp ; but rather Prayers and Songs of Praife. The Army of the King of Pruffiz, pray and fing Pfalins, and truft in Gop, and fight, and drive all before them. Go ye, and do likewife. And no doubt I may fafely promife, in the Behalf of all the godly People in New England, that while you are fighting for all that is dear to us in this World, conftant Prayers will like Incenfe arife from all Parts of the Land, on your Account. And if our Iniqui- ties, (the Cry of which is gone up to Heaven) do not prevent it, you will have Succefs. But if by our continued Impenetency,we neceffitate infinite Good- nefs to turn againft us, and deliver you a Prey into the Enemy’s Hands, we fhall be guilty of the great- eft Barbarity to you, who are now fo willingly offer- ing to'venture your Livés for our fakes. E.E, P.S. Let all the Inhabitants of New England, hearken to the Veice of Gop, and to the Voice of our Ruolers : And let us repent, and return to the Lord Gob of our Fathers, with all our Hearts. It is hard to conceive how a People can have louder Calls to Repentance, than we now have ; or be more inexcufable than we fhall be, if we continue obftinate, till our Iniquities prove our Ruin—Come, therefore, lJet us return to the Lord s for be bath torn, and be «will heal us 5 be bath /mitten, and he will bind us up. On the Neavsof the Arrival of our FLEET. e Bella, borrida bella mmm—= Et lawrencem multo Spumentem Sanguine cerne. Vire. Here fhall an infant Mule fuch Numbers find, As may be equal to our Joy of Mind, For the good News that decorates this Sheet, Admiral Bofcawen's arriv’d with his Fleet. Swift as the Lightnings crols the Hemifphere, So fwift the Tidings fly from Ear to Ear, Creating Joy and Gladnefs where they go ; As when cool Streams thro’ dry Arabia flow. Not Zepher's Gales, refreth {o much the Sky, When the hot Dog-Star fires the Realms on high ; e e 35 s s— bowe S Vil . Nor So/'swarm Beams, {o much the Northern Climes As the Arrival on our Coaft betimes Of great Bojcawer, with his Men of War, Whofe Valour Gallick Ships has felt before. Let now your mortal Tubes difcharging roar, And warm S¢. Laurance, to her frozen Shore ; Let now the Briti/> Cannons thun'dring fhake, Loui/bourg’s Walls, and every Echo wake, Thac long has fleptin circumambiant Air, Making their Gallick Hearts to quake for Fear ; While both the Admirals difplay, this Spring, The greateft Valour, for our G O D and KING. Let Abercrombie now, the Head and Chief, Of our New England Armies, fpeed Relief, To this diftrefs’d Land, awake to Arms, Roufe up his Troops to Action, beat Alarms. Let nought retar d Canada’s deftin’d Doom, Since that Bo/cawen with his Fléet is come, Let now the Trumpet’s terrible from far, In louder Claagor animate the War, While rambling Drams in fuller Conforts beat, And echoing Hills the loud Alarm repeat ; That Canada which breeds us Foes in fwarms, Might timely feel the Vengeance of our Arms. Mean Time, my Countrymen, ] pray take Care, You truft not in the Armament you prepare, Butin the Name of Jjrael’s Mighty GOD, Let every Britifb Soldier draw his Sword, And let JEHOVAH do what feemeth to him goed.
