Dialogue between F--r R--ts, and the P--y

Printed in two columns divided by line of type ornaments. Printed area measures: 19.5 x 14.4 cm. Verse dialogue among R--ts, P--y and first and second spectators. R--ts mentions his farm and his livestock; possibly "F--r" means "Farmer." Mentions of "rotten eggs" and the P--y being "doom'd thy cumb'rous weight to bear" show that "P--y" means "Pillory." Apparently F--r R--ts (Farmer Roberts?) has been condemned to stand in the pillory for his support of Thomas Paine. "God save the King" in last line indicates England as the place of publication; suggested range of publication dates from internal evidence.
