A POEM 45 



Another Act has also got a clause, 



A Postcript to th' above, which further cause 



Of grief will give, explains that they must get, 



After this fine, a right certificate ; 



And adds, expedient it will likewise be, 



Before obtain'd, to pay a double fee* 



The whole combin'd, has quickly thus become 



A risk, which none but fools or rogues would run. 



Would any Gent, if uninvited, range 



O'er other people's lands'? or is it strange* 



The scum that do, two pounds are fin'd 1 the game 



They have about them may be also ta'en,t 



If it is kill'd on trespass, or if not 



'Tis all the same, and matters not a jot; 



Or if, by inadvertence, he was found 



Openly sporting on another's ground, 



It is not likely his address or name 



Would change or fail to give, he'd be to blame ;
