_The Bear, the Louse, and Religion._--I should be much obliged to any of

your correspondents who will inform me where I can find _The Bear, the

Louse, and Religion_: a fable. It commences--

"A surly Bear, in college bred,

Determin'd to attack Religion;

A Louse, who crawl'd from head to head,

Defended her--as Hawk does pidgeon.

Bruin Subscription discommended;

The Louse determin'd to support it--"

I know no more. When was it written?--upon what occasion?--who are meant

by the Bear and the Louse?
