COSWAY, Frazer, and Baldwin of Egypt’s lake

Fear to associate with Blake. This life is a warfare against evils; They heal the sick: he casts out devils. Hayley, Flaxman, and Stothard are also in doubt Lest their virtue should be put to the rout. One grins, t’other spits, and in corners hides, And all the virtuous have shown their backsides.

Cosway Frazer & Baldwin of Egypts Lake

Fear to Associate with Blake

This Life is a Warfare against Evils

They heal the sick he casts out Devils

Hayley Flaxman & Stothard are also in doubt

Lest their Virtue should be put to the rout

One grins tother spits & in corners hides

And all the Virtuous have shewn their backsides
