THE GREAT PANTOMIME!!

WHERE T;) SEE If.

Through all the year, there's ono bright happy time,
That briege with It its own peculiar pleasure;
When pleasant fares beam with brighter smiles.
And mirth abounds with more abundant measure.
Old Christmas, theme of many merry lays !
Founder of all things happy; spirit cheerer;
Again we hail thy coining with cur praise,
And new delights enjoy as thou drawest near.
But who's to have the merriest Pantomime ?
The nimblest Harlequin, the Clown most funny ;
Most pleas ng Pantaloon, and Columb:ne—
To see whose wonders we must pay our money.
We've conned the news, and strong inquiries made,
Of Wry one, in all the likely places;
Seen one or two, and though not in the trade,
Have some idea who will win the races.
At Drury Lane they're busy we'll engage,
For work gees on in every hole and corner;'
And " l'oxine Night" will witness on the stage,
The history of " Little Jacky Horner."
The Sleeping Teauty in the Wood," will be
The soitrce of Mr. Ruckstone's new attraction;
At the Lyceum, " Lallu Rookh " wilt cause,
In money matters quite a brisk re-action.
"The Beauty an'! the Beast," at Sadler's Wells,
And - Romeo and Juliet " at the Surrey,
With many others grace the London bills,
Which we wou'd mention, but we're in a hurry.
In Liverpool, four Pantomimes! will be
Produced, ta gratify each pleasure lover ;
But one will rise above the rest supreme,
As certainly the public will discover.
"Four Pantomimes" we hear some one exclaim,
We've but three theatres within our Borough;
Indeed ! thu Pantomime we mean, will be
The surest moans of driving off grim sorrow.
'fig net the Puss in Bolts" we mean, nor yet
Is it :he " Undine, or the Water Spirit,"
Nor yet " Red Biding Hood," for which we claim
The just applause, which this is sure to merit.
6' Whe-e shall we see it ?" at the Butter Place !
The place of places best, the highest, greatest;
Where Kel'y rules, and where It's beaming feces
Smiles kindly still, from nary hour to la:est.
What de yon ca'l this Pantomime? Pray say ;
We'el tall if you wil' give it your attention;
Its title is-" Be honest to the last."
Or " Harlequin the great of good intention."
The Columb.ne by " Justice " will be played,
(For there the lady ever dwells we tell ye);
The Clown and Pa taloon by " Good" and "Cheap,"
The Harlequin of hoed Intention- KELLY ! !
