Did any of the long-ear'd tribe
E'er swallow half so mean a bribe?
Pray have you no sinister end,
Thus to abuse the nation's friend?
His country's and his monarch's glory,
Who prais'd no man as Whig or Tory.
His country is his dearest mother,
And every honest man his brother.
Not so your patron can appear,
He buys up scrip, and stops the arrear;
