Spider and Poet End in Penury a Moral Pair
Fragment from a period piece notes the spider and the poet sharing fate in poverty. A mournful reflection compares a poet confined to garrets and ruined rooms to a spider, both ended by death or neglect. Letters to Mrs Singleton are franked at Mr Millar's Strand, printed for A Mizar Strand, sold by S Blapow Pater-noster Row.
