1814.8
The Good Old Times
Anon
The Morning Chronicle (June 13, 1814)

'Tis past[1]—War drops his crimson lance;
    The BOURBONS mount the Throne,
And re-assume their Spain and France,
    To rule by Love alone,
Resolv'd to prove that France and Spain
    Have better'd their condition,
One bids the Slave Trade thrive again,
    And one the Inquisition.
