Printed on the River Thames in ye month of January 1740.

“Behold the liquid Thames now frozen o'er

That lately ships of mighty Burthen bore;

Here Watermen, for want to row in boats,

Make use of Bowze to get them Pence and Groats.

Frost Fair. Printed upon the Ice on the River Thames, Jan.

23, 1739-40.”

“The bleak North-East, from rough Tartarian Shores,

O'er Europe's Realms its freezing Rigour pours,

Stagnates the flowing Blood in Human Veins,

And binds the silver Thames in ley Chains.

Their usual Courses Rivulets refrain,

And ev'ry Pond appears a Glassy Plain;

Streets now appear where Water was before,

And Thousands daily walk from Shore to Shore.
