L. O. B.
THE MAYOR AND THE BUTTERMA

Her Majesty held a levee at St. James's on Wednesday, a very
brilliant affair.

Among the notables was his Worship the Mayor of Liverpool,
who presented a congratulatory address on the late auspicious event
in Prussia, &c., &c., &e. London Papers of last week.

THE LEVEE

O'er London town the glorious sun shines forth right merrily,
And smiles upon the brilliant throng who crowd to the levee ;
An endless stream of carriages wind down St. James's-street,
While through the Park, along the Mall, come those of the elite
Within St. James's ancient halls collected now we see

The ministers of foreign courts and lords of high degree ;
And many a reverend bishop, too, and learned judge is there,
And last, not least, there entereth our oivn respected Mayor.

From Liverpool unto the Throne he beareth an address,
The town's united gratitude and pleasure to express
At seeing our beloved Princess to health restored again,
To which her Majesty, replied much in the following strain :
"A thousand thanks, good Mr. Mayor, a thousand thanks," said she'
" But how is it we do not see with you Edward Kelly ?
" 'Tis very strange he is not here, for we did him invite,
"That we might give to him his due, by making him a knight."

His Worship, smiling, fumbled in the pocket of his coat,
Then to her Majesty he gave a pretty little note ;
She took it promptly from his hand, to read it she began,
Now list ye all unto the note writ by the Butterman.

"I humbly thank your Majesty for your kind thought of me
" But yet the longer I reflect I feel it cannot be •
" I cannot leave my Butter Place, and it would not be right
"For me to be a Butterman and eke a noble *night.

" Since I began my bright career I resolutely vowed,
"Like old John G ilpin's wife, that none 'should say that I was proud;'
" One thing alone could make me so, and that would be if I
"Might be allowed your Majesty with butter to supply."
The Queen she laughed a merry laugh, when o'er thisnote read she,
And said, " Pray bear our best respects, to good Edward Kelly ;
We honour much his modesty, and hope to see him soon,
And as to his supplying us, of course we grant his boon:"
