who, by keeping company, and following the advice of a woman of the town, named Milwood, was reduced to the lowest pitch of infamy : detailing every particular of his guilty career, from the robbing of his master to the dreadful murder of his uncle! : with the history of Maria, his sweetheart.

"Be warn'd, ye youths, fly from fell despair, Avoid lew'd women, false as they are fair; By my example learn to shun my fate, How wretched is the man who's wise too late! Ere innocence, and fame, and life, be lost, Here purchase wisdom cheaply at my cost!"
