But most of all I marvel that men can despise thieves, whereas in many points you be like Christ himself; for Christ had no dwelling place no more than you--Christ at length was caught, and so will you--he went to hell and so will you. In this you differ from him, for he rose and went into heaven--so you will never do without God's great mercy, which God grant you. To whom with the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, for ever and ever. AMEN. * * * * * From the Providence Phoenix of December, 1804. MARQUIS OF NEWBURYPORT!! [_On Monday last arrived in this town the most noble and illustrious Lord TIMOTHY DEXTER, of Newburyport, Massachusetts, who has since his arrival requested the publication of the following stanzas in this day's paper, as a humble tribute to the incomprehensible majesty of his name! While they serve as a brilliant specimen of the gifted talents and admirable sublimity of the Laureat, from whose pen they flowed, the virtuoso in genealogies, and the worshippers of noble rank and boundless fortune may derive a rich and delicious satisfaction from the subject to which they are devoted!_ * * * * * ADVERTISEMENT EXTRA. OF THE CELEBRATED LORD DEXTER. LORD DEXTER is a man of fame, Most celebrated is his name; More precious far than gold that's pure, Lord Dexter live for evermore. His noble house it shines more bright Than Lebanon's most pleasant height, Never was one who step'd therein Who wanted to come out again. His house is fill'd with sweet perfumes, Rich furniture doth fill his rooms; Inside and out it is adorn'd, And on the top an eagle's form'd. His house is white and trimm'd with green, For many miles it may be seen; It shines as bright as any star, The fame of it has spread afar. Lord Dexter, thou, whose name alone Shines brighter than king George's throne; Thy name shall stand in books of fame, And Princes shall his name proclaim. Lord Dexter hath a coach beside, In pomp and splendor he doth ride; The horses champ the silver bitt, And throw the foam around their feet. The images around him stand, For they were made by his command; Looking to see Lord Dexter come, With fixed eyes they see him home. Four lions stand to guard the door, With their mouths open to devour All enemies who do disturb Lord Dexter or his shady grove. Lord Dexter, like king Solomon, Hath gold and silver by the ton, And bells to churches he hath given, To worship the great king of heaven. His mighty deeds they are so great, He's honor'd both by church and state, And when he comes all must give way, To let Lord Dexter bear the sway. When Dexter dies all things shall droop, Lord East, Lord West, Lord North shall stoop, And then Lord South with pomp shall come, And bear his body to the tomb.
