Epigram on the Poor of Boston Being Employed in Paving the Streets, 1774
In spite of Rice , in spite of Wheat ,
Sent for the Boston Poor — to eat:
In spite of Brandy , one would think,
Sent for the Boston Poor — to drink:
Poor are the Boston Poor, indeed,
And needy, tho' there is no Need:
They cry for Bread; the mighty Ones
Instead of Bread , give only Stones .
