Gibraltar - Reino Unido - julho de 2013 - foto de Fernando Costa

"Will you ne'er leave your usual Tricks, Sir,
Of kicking 'gainst sharp--pointed Pricks, Sir?
As you stood up for Gibraltar, Sir,
And rail'd against our peaceful War, Sir,
Will you go on and never cease, Sir,
But dare to blame our warlike Peace, Sir,
Must I at length be forc'd to go, Sir,
To see you as I did Defoe, Sir,
Or Mist, that Brother of Perdition,
In Pillory for base Sedition?
No, Pillory's too good for Fellows
Who 'stead of Pensions chuse the Gallows.

Nicholas Amhurst
