KATHLEEN AND PETRUCHIO;

OR, SHAKSPEARE BALFOURISED.

_Kathleen_. HIBERNIA. _Petruchio_. Mr. BALFOUR.
_Grumio_.... Mr. JACKSON.
_Haberdasher_.. Mr. GLADSTONE.

_Petruchio_. Thus have I politicly begun my reign,
And 'tis my hope to end successfully;
My falcon now is sharp, and passing empty;
And, till she stoop, she must not be full-gorg'd,
For then she never looks upon her lure.
Another way I have to man my haggard,
To make her come, and know her keeper's call;
That is, to watch her, as we watch these kites
That bate, and beat, and will not be obedient.
She plays no tricks to-day, nor none shall play;
Last Session she ruled not, nor shall next Session;
Resolute government is the only way
To smooth these stormy spirits.

All the same,
