RIVINGTON'S REFLECTIONS: (continued.)
[1 line from Virgil]
Folks may think as they please, but to me it would seem
That our great men at home have done nothing but dream.
Such trimming and twisting and shifting about, 
And some getting in and others turn'd out; 
And yet with their bragging and looking so big, 
All they did was to dance a theatrical jig:
. . . [80 lines]
If the Congress themselves to the Chapel did pass*, 
Ye may swear that poor Jemmy wou'd have to sing mass.
. . . [9 line footnote]
