A VINDICATION OF THE British Colonies, AGAINST The Aspersions of THE Halifax GENTLEMAN, IN His Letter to a Rhode-Island FRIEND.
Sed fugite, o miseri, fugite, atque ab litore funem Rumpite! Clamorem immensum tollit, quo pontus et omnes Intremuere undae penitùsque exterrita tellus Italiae curvisque immug••it Aetna Cavernis. — fluit ae•• rivis, au••ique metallum Vulnificùsque chalybs vastâ fornace liquescit — Alii ventosis follibus auras Accipiunt reddúntque, alii stridentia tinguni Aera lacu: gemit impositis incudibus antrum. Illi inter sese multâ vi brachia tollunt In numerum versá••tque tenaci forcipe massam. VIRGIL.
