Would the blood
if all the innocents
[in the
Foundling Hospital]
who lifted
up their voiceschanted thanks
to heaven in
thanksgiving,
for his Majesty's
recovery satiate
his Minister's
thanka for glory.
Let him give up
his war, he
should have
my cheerful
vote for it
Would a hundred
thousand
a year [were
him to the envy
of probity and
peace] reconcile
him to the insipidity
of innocence
and from
not grudge
it him
It require
wisdom to keep
the world cool:
bu the silliest
of boys may set
it on fire.

The profession
of war makes
us miserable
to the most flagrant
profusion
in ing
other time
other profusion
is to
this.
To think that
all our
the heavy burthens
we grown under
have had this
for their
course - that
hadwe kept
clear of this
we should have
had none of
them! - that
if we can prevail
upon one
- when to keep
clear of it we
shall have some
of them no future!
