“Tis stated that a combination
Is formed to blast his reputation:
I'll grant it...but 'tis not my client,
Nor yet the Ass, or Mule, rely on't,
Who form this combination....No!
Those who have plann'd his overthrow,
Are his own counsel and the throng
Of evidence they brought along;
Whose tales have shock'd each modest ear,
And call'd forth delicacy's tear;
Thrill'd every virtuous heart with grief,
And damn'd the Mastiff, past relief.
