A SATURATED meadow,
Sun-shaped and jewel-small,
A circle scarcely wider

And the air was

With the breath of many flowers,--
A temple of the heat.

Less modest than the speech of prudes;
Where never blush was called in aid,

A virtue but at second-hand;
They blush because they understand.

Swift - Battle of the Books, and Others |

The friends of the press
and national liberty argued, " That it was highly im politic to provoke the people by a needless display of authority, at a time when they were already too much heated and alarmed, and watched every exercise of
with the utmost jealousy and suspicion, especially in the House of Commons, which, since the business of the Middlesex election, the people were but too apt to
consider
