TO GOVERNOR JOHNSTONE, ONE OF THE BRITISH COMMISSIONERS, ON
HIS LATE LETTERS AND ATTEMPTS TO BRIBE CERTAIN EMINENT
CHARACTERS IN AMERICA, AND THREATENING AFTERWARDS TO APPEAL
TO THE PUBLIC.

And fix'd the gloomy monarchy of Hell,
Sin then was honest; Pride led on the tribe;
No Devil receiv'd--no Devil propos'd a bribe;
. . . [40 lines]
