TWELFTH IVIGHT.

The gambols of TWelfth
,Night were cele- I
brated with great festivity at Cheltenham. All the !
little Ladies and Gentlemen assembled at Sir
RALPH WOOHIPORD‘f. The King and Queen were
duly chosen, and Offireni of the Household ap-
pointed. Among the introductions to Her Majesty,
that of Dr. jENNRIL produced a pleasing effect.
The Queen, placing a Crown upon his head, con-
eluded a complimentary Address to him on his in-
valuable discovery. with the following lines : ' .
" Fair Be atty's Queer, with ,mike of grace
Around thy brows her myrtle wreath shall twine;
Through fields of death kt others reek renown,
The warriors triumph, mid the taureEd crown;
With worthier duty, and far happier ends,
Fate, in her garb of Peace on thee attends,
CIRO§ from her aching band ber pen of blood,
And writes thy name among the wt,e and good." •
After which the little fairy band, who were drawn
up in a circle, danced round him, scattering roses
at his feet. The colic was then introduced,
carried by four Yeomen of the Guards, and cut up
with all due rites end ceremonies. An elegant
a petit souper followed, and t twelve n'clockthe
company and clvddren retired equally gratified.
