THE NEW-OLD OPPOSITION.
BY JOHN BULL.
It is said, the Great Men, who are seiz'd with the pouts,
At their suddenly alter'd condition;
Who so late were the Ins, and so soon were the Outs,
Have decreed a severe Opposition.
At their suddenly alter'd condition;
Who so late were the Ins, and so soon were the Outs,
Have decreed a severe Opposition.
Nor will it be wonder'd at, greatly, if those
Who're depriv'd of unmerited treasures,
As of old, should determine, the Men, to oppose,
Though their consciences sanction the Measures!
Who're depriv'd of unmerited treasures,
As of old, should determine, the Men, to oppose,
Though their consciences sanction the Measures!
Such threats are, by Britons, too well understood
To create any just apprehensions;
Nor can they, who, in power, accomplish no good,
Now appal us by evil intentions.
