Description: | Written in pencil. Headed 'William Penn and the Window Tax'. Reverse 'Mr Steel, 27 St Catherines. Free Library', and under this 'Mr G.G. Amminesh' ?. Poem reads verse 1; 'Our good friend Nathian Heretofore (?), Of outward lights possessed a score, Of these he shut up all but nine, and left, His inward light to shine for, Which he pays no duty. Verse 2; Your simple .... egrarious youth, Aiming at wit mistook the truth, In lines devoid of beauty. As in this all must agree that, Outward light is wholly free, Tis inward light pays duty'. | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
