rTho. Tar DUBLIN SVCS TIM POST.]

T. old Birr town glad tiding. came,
That his Grace of Richmond, and his Dame,
• Did mean to eat and drink there
And, as a castle there did stead,
Belonging to a Noble of the land,
Hard by this town so fair—
His Grace, with all his nom'rous suite,
Of Lords and Ladies, sn4 Knights to boot,
Were ask'd therein to dine:
And much ado, indeed, there wan,
• Furl to provide for all their maws.
Together with punch and wine.
For know, ye Gentles, that, 'midst the crowd,
Both high and low there were allow'd,
All fur the nation's, welfare ;
For, so lih'ral wow are Statesmen grown,
All pride and nonsense they d.sown,
And hanglity looks forbear.
First came the puissant Charleville,
With Lady, in her dishabille,
And secants without number ;
And Ashtowa, who, of PJnion fond,
Was better paid, than by a hood—
A title's sounding thunder.
And next (as meet) inform appear,
The Representatives ; whe, each year,
Are howearably transported ;
And can, in Parliament, say yes,
When noisy Jacobins cry nay ;
For which they're well rewarded.
And now behold the list of 'Squire',
Whose likeness (had you known their sires)
Reminds one of the pleneh ;
For much this worthy Peer dotb love,
His great humility to prove,
By herring them with hie how.
And oh, how gay their Ladies shine,
Bcderk'd is lace sod silks, so fine ;
That, by my faith, you'd swear,
No meni3l office e'er had spoird
Their hands ; or coarse potatoes, boil'il.
Had fed these Nymphs so fair.
And, to avoid all bigotry,
Within this castle you would see,
Quaker, Protestant, and Papist I
For bour, in early days, this Lord,
Ras, by the Catholics, quite silued,
Tho'alter'd sow big case is.
Pot, as fur that, the time is past
e 311 must be fOrgi'en at last—
And so tar good man thought,
Therefore, that lie might say the r-L
Wherein we're taught bow to fo.io:r,
Of malice, he knon s nought.
But, let me tell you, Gentles, hew
It puzzled the 'Squires which way to bow,
When they should see their Grates !
Art the poor Ladies much did question,
Whether curt'irying at Court was fashion ;
And how to compose their faces.
Besides, in some old hook, they'd read,
That, veto a 'face Majesty, so dread,
Poor suhjects, *Wit, should stand :
Asa, if the etiquette, in town, was such,
That these grist people they should touc►,
Which was the way to kiss their head.
&hold the Banker, groat is state,
Well knowing both his worth slid weight,
Like beads, hipper-centre telling;
And, as he views each flaunting belle,
Bethinks him, " this expere is well,
" I soon shall buy her dwelling "
The Yeomen next, in coats all new,
Bespoke, hut late, for the review,
Like bandbox men appear;
Nor is their seeming mach amiss—
For, tho' they. fight shout a kiss,
These pasteboard men I fear.
I nearly had forgot to say,
Hew (I—f—t's Bishop there did pray,
W.th bands and eyes uplifted;
No doubt, with pious hope, that soon,
Uc woold receive sure gracious boon,
And to a better see be ebifted
Oh, may his ardent pray'r he heard,
And may he soon he so preferr'd,
That changing time shall cease ;
His hopes, his fears, to cireismveiit,
Aod fleeting pow'r be so spent,
That be may rest in peace.
And as the Church has said, amen,
'Tr time that I should check my pen,
And come unto an end ;
For dr' moc► matter still cringing, .
To exercise my quill and brains,
1 will the tale aiispend.
But ere I bid you thus adieu,
fain would tell ye that • few,
Amidst this crowd there were,
Who well intinmed had early been,
Ausl much of stately tea had seen,
As also real Ladies fair ;
And well they knew what court be poly,
When to say aye, mid when say n.iy,
Without a vulgar fur;
All also in what form torero!,
If seed sherd be to kiss the band,
So farewell Lord of R—sse.

The Earl of CAMDEN has been icry much indis-
posed for about tea days past, p Inch was the cause
of the Noble Earl not attending Hi•-- Mares:Tv, last
Wednesday, at the Levee ; nod also of his not be-
ing present at the nomination of the Sheriffs, by
the Loiters of the Comictt. and the Jut:am in the
Court of Exchequer, on Monday, as President wf
the Council. The accounts which hare appeared
lathe Noble Earl having attended several Cabinet
Cowncils, during the above time, of course. are
erroneous. Sir W •LTEIL FaaQuuar. attends the
Noble Earl four times a-day.
Mr. DENT has decliaed the representation of the
borough of Lancaster. The Honourable Member
has made his intentions known by a puhlic adver-
tisement, addressed to the freemen of the town,
stating that he shall not offer himself at a fiat's e
election.
