Here you will find the Poem Upon Seeing A Raffle For Addison's Works unfill'd. of poet Mary Barber
Ye gentle Beaux, and thoughtless Belles, Who gaily rove at Tunbridge--Wells, With Pockets full; and empty Looks, Raffling for ev'ry Toy--but Books: Should Addison's immortal Page (The Glory of his Land and Age) Want two Subscriptions to be full, The World will dare pronounce you dull. Be wise--subscribe--and shew, at least; That you have one Pretence to Taste.
