Mr. Rivington having been applied to by many gentlemen for a
pleasant publication respecting himself, exhibited in the
Philadelphia Freeman's Journal of December 4, takes leave to
copy it into this Day's Gazette, and assures the author that
a column shall at any time be most cheerfully referred to
carry that gentleman's lively lucabrations to the tune.
RIVINGTON'S REFLECTIONS.
Inclusus paenain expectat Virg.
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.

14 lines; verse 5 - 6 lines; verse 6 - 16 lines; verse 7 -
14 lines, signed] G.
