of the Cyprian Mir tie. Your patriot mo-
ments will be paffed under the fliade of
your Scottifi Fir.

fhip. The Cocoa Tree and your countrymen
may be impatient to fettle with you the
Army and the Finances of this kingdom.
I have only to add my congratulations on
the peculiar fame you have acquired, io
adequate to the wonderful a6ls of your ad-
min iftration. You are now in full poffef-
iion of that fame at the head of Tories and
Scotfjien 'y but alas ! my Lord, how fan-
taftick as well as tranfitory is fame ! The
meaneft have their day, and though Mr,
Pitt is now adored, as the head of Whigs
and E?igliJJjmenf the great eji can but blaze ,

I am, with a zeal and refped equal to
your virtues.
My Lord,
Your Lordfhip's
Very humble Servant.
