RIVINGTON'S REFLEXIONS.
. . . [1 line from Virgil.]
The more I reflect, the more plain it appears,
If I stay, I must stay at the risque of my ears,
I have so be-pepper'd the foes of our throne,
Be rebel'd, be devil'd, and told them their own,
That if we give up to these rebels at last,
'Tis a chance if my ears will atone for the past.
