THE TWO ifIBBIIIVOIM,

(From Punch.)

I have • game must erase the sea,
But I doubt wig mosnsge it shall be:
And be it Poem or be it War,
A Agin poet would choose therefor.
8o say, you busby birds el Wm.
Around which neck shall I tie the twine!

TUB amnia
Bound miss, round lairs, my Wilms sweet,
My wisp are brad sod ray Ilikt is fleet :
And I have a beak to rird lb' prey,
And talons for an my course would stay :
Asd I can swoop over land sad sea—
Tbon " War," and your message and by met

'O3l DOVE.
Roland min.. 0 matron sweet, round mine:
I'm swift as snow, and true as line :
Nor talons sharp, nor bask have I.
But a soft sweet voice and a pleading eye ;
And now will harm mo, as hod we NO—
Thin "Paw," and send your areits by me.

THI NAGLE.
The Lioo stands in act to wring.
Her glove Britannia lifts to ling :
♦ haughty claim sake bought reply,
He half bee coo:meted, who doom ditty
With the Lieu the Eagle should parley held—
Then give or the moms% brie( and um.

THE DOW&

The dugs of the Lit;esesUelt led Wm.
When Met thou earnest PVlllew.
Better, I wise, than Britannia's gb►ti
Is the hand of Britannia, clasped in love.
Twist Dove and Lion calm speech may be
Then the message of Peace send thou by me!

TRZ s►at.a.
Thou hest boasted sad blustered and talked of fight,
Hmt eat a bold face ia lieu of right :
U breath thoe bate, or back thou draw,
Or Laird of battle offer l►w,
Oh, @easeful the Lioo's laugh will be—
ns, t►e manage of War used thou by me !

ISM DOYL
U thou last boosted, bout so mere ;
If war ikon host repeat it sore :
The desire wickedest es mat
Is "Let WOO( es& sloes mew bums,"
Oh, glad the Lsos's rose heart
II •imemis of Feiss gees used by me !

Aad AM in doubt Both Colanais eland,
A bird and au answer on either heed ;
For War —the Eagle with eyes a-glow ;
For Pease—the Dove, with her plumes at snow.
But Pesos or War should the menage be,
Twill Ind them reedy ALTOS the sea.
