Here were conven'd of the nineteen,
Who in the apostacy had been,
A dozen or more: say shall I use
Feign'd names as doth the inventive muse,
Or in direct expression call,
Each by his own name literal?
I chuse the first; then say there were,
Two orators of speech more clear,
Could scarce tell which of them was worthier;
Grogram the one, Bogram the other.
Grogram spoke first: ah what avails,
This stratagem of turning tails?
A house is made; the business done,
Convention will be call'd anon,
This system that we so much dread,
Will soon like cap he pull'd o'er head;
A hanging matter to our wishes,
Not giving time to say God bless us.
So universal is the current
We dare not openly make stir in't
61

But how to meditate side blow,
Is what we must determine now.
