_"Then comes the reckoning," &c._ (Vol. v., p. 585.).--These two lines are

to be found in Act II. Sc. 9. of the tragi-comi-pastoral, _The What D'ye

Call It_, by John Gay, author of the _Beggar's Opera_, _Fables_, &c. The

correct quotation is:

"So comes a reck'ning when the banquet's o'er,

The dreadful reck'ning, and men smile no more."
