Requiem

.—When Pitt dies a requiem will be sung or said by the Aristocrats in all the churches in this kingdom, and in our own town of Berwick upon Tweed, to intercede with his Grace the Archbishop of Hell to take his dear departed soul out of purgatory, and to request some loyal ghost or other to dip his finger in water to cool his tongue, as he must be tormented in that flame.
