A political satire in two acts in verse, published the day before the battle of Lexington

At head of title: As the great business of the public world is the eager pursuit of amusement, and as the Public diversion of the season have been interrupted by the hostile parade in the captial; the exhibition of a new farce may not be unentertaining

These lines also appear on the t.-p. after the title: The author has thought proper to borrow the following spirited lines from a late celebrated poet, and offer to the public by way of Prologue, which cannot fail of pleasing at this crisis: What! arm'd for virtue, and not point the pen, Brand the bold front of shameless guilty men ... etc. (12 lines)
