LORD MELBOURNE AND LORD JOHN RUSSELL--A pair of cast-off slippers.
MR. WAKELY--A dish of Tory flummery. DAN O'CONNELL--A prime lot of [Illustration: REAL IRISH BUTTER.] * * * * * SONGS FOR THE SENTIMENTAL.--NO. 7. Fair Daphne has tresses as bright as the hue That illumines the west when a summer-day closes; Her eyes seem like violets laden with dew, Her lips will compare with the sweetest of roses. By Daphne's decree I am doom'd to despair, Though ofttimes I've pray'd the fair maid to revoke it. "No--Colin I love"--(thus will Daphne declare) "Put that in your pipe, if you will, sir, and smoke it." Once I thought that she loved me (O! fatal deceit), For she wore at the dance the gay wreath I had twined her; She smiled when I swore that I envied each sweet, And vow'd that in love's rosy chains I would bind her. I press'd her soft hand, and a blush dyed her cheek; "Oh! there's love," I exclaim'd, "in that eye's liquid glancing." She spoke, and I think I can _still_ hear her speak-- "You know about love what a pig knows of dancing!" * * * * * |
