Rules of the House of Representatives.

Jefferson’s Manual. Section 47.

3. Hatsell 25— 5. Grey 154.

Mr Powle I am glad to see the inclination of the House to strengthen the Protestant religion, and I hope it will continue— I move therefore to send up to the Lords to put them in mind of our Bill of Popery, that we may give the Country some account of the delay of it (See the debate) A Message was sent to the Lords (by Mr Powle) as moved

15— Feby 1677.

6. Feby 1693. other than Bills—

Commons Journals 11. April 1716. 23. May 1721.

12. Feby. 1721.

It has also happened, that when a Bill has been sent to the Lords, and it has been neglected there, the Commons have sent a message to remind them of it as in the instances of the 11th. of April 1716: the 23d. of May 1721. and on the 12th. of Feby 1721. 3. Hatsell 28.

It has not however been unusual for either House to remind the other of a Bill, which from its importance has appeared to deserve greater dispatch, than the House in Parliament, to which it is sent, seemed inclined to give it. 3. Hatsell 65.

The man in Virtue’s garb array’d In Christian truth a liver Needs not the sharp Toledo-blade Nor venom freighted quiver. What though he wind his toilsome way Oer regions wild and weary Through Zara’s burning desert stray Or wildernesses Asia’s jungles dreary What though he plough the billowy deep Thy lunar light or Solar Meet the resistless Simooms sweep Or iceberg circumpolar In bog or quagmire deep and dank His foot shall never settle He mounts the summit of Mont blanc Or Popocatepettl On Chimborazos breathless hight He treads oer burning lava And Or snuffs the Bohon Upas blight The deathful plant of Java. Through every peril he shall pass By Virtue’s shield protected And still by Truth’s unerring glass His path shall be directed— Else wherefore was it Thursday last While strolling down the valley, Defenceless, musing as I pass’d A Canzonet to Sally. A wolf, with famine-sharpen’d snout Forth from the thicket bounded. I clap’d my hands and rais’d a shout— He heard—and fled—confounded. 816 Algiers nor Tunis never bred an Animal more crabbed Nor Fez, dry nurse of Lions, fed A monster half so rabid Not Ararat so fierce a beast Has seen since days of Noah Nor half so greedy strong more eager for a feast The fell Constrictor Boa. O! place me where the solar beam Has scorch’d all verdure vernal Or on the polar verge extreme Block’d up with ice eternal Still shall my voice’s tender lays Of love remain unbroken— And still my charming Sally praise Sweet-smiling and sweet-spoken—
