Excerpt from The Ragiad, Vol. 1 of 2: A Poetical Discourse on Rags; With Occasional Flashes at Men and Things

The following poem is presented to the public for their perusal. Though its subject is not at all popular, it must be admitted it is one of great importance. It is not understood by person who are in the habit of looking on the surface of things; and hence they cannot be expected to like beyond the prejudices of previously conceived opinions in relation to those who gather rags, though by the industry and self-sacrifice of these heroic people, (I say heroic, for they brave all the consequences of the aforesaid prejudices!) are obtained the very paper on which is served up that intellectual feast which is so important to that which wraps the sugar that qualifies-their dear tea!
