To The House Of Commons, On Their Vote For the Abolition Of The Slave-Trade
Y E bold Assertors of the public voice,
Whose virtues justify your Country's choice,
On you the Sons of Africk shall bestow
Their pray'rs, their thanks, their tears from joy which flow.
Th' historick page, to worth and honour true,
Shall to your Sons transmit your praises due:
And as of old were former Senates known
For acts of vice of virtue most their own,
Recorded in the genuine rolls of Fame,
The Parliament of M ERCY be your Name.
Whose virtues justify your Country's choice,

And as of old were former Senates known
For acts of vice of virtue most their own,
