C-NN-G•S REFLECTIONS.

How happy I feel—to my joy I'll give loose;
I'm not crossing the ocean to rule the Hindoor:
I too* very well that a great many wish me
'Nougat &natio* discoursing of Vishnu* mud Arliirva ;
Aud the A rat-toratioald God hay, the truth I must osa,
Less frequently chang'd hia outside than I've my own,
My political substance is so worn out,
That what I can't have I most eel do without.
To my Liverpool friends I most be very kiad;
1 shall need them again to bear me ill wind.
But though I'm not going 'monist Nabobs to roam,
I hope to be Governor-Gni rat—at bowie.
My friends (as tin y couldn't well help ii) they gave me
a place;
am "their ornament, their life, and their grace."
There's an old schoolboy tale, of a man sad a snake ;
I don't mean to apply itbill just fo► the sake
Of disclaiming all obligation for what they're given,
r without me they'd have all been at "six and at seem"
Meantime with thin I conclude how pl the feels,
Who has pensions and pow'r, high rank, and—theSealr.
