Bring ropes — It is an hyperbolical expression, suited to the vain — glorious temper of this insolent young man: implying, that they would do so if they could not destroy him another way: or, that they should be enough to do so, if there were occasion. River — Adjoining to the city; it being usual to build cities near some river, both for defence, and for other accommodations. |
