Other verses, by Richard Owen Cambridge, the satirist, and contemporary of Dr. Johnson, picture this Slavemonger Government:-- “Polypheme was a cannibal, And most voracious glutton; Poor shipwrecked tars he smoused for fish, And munched marines for mutton.” [140] Regicide Peace, Second Letter: Works (London, 1801), Vol. VIII. p. 161.
