KENILWORTH CASTLE

As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Ress's Royal Visit.
For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori-
cal fact that Good Queen (less paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and
" paid the pip,r." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there-
fore we pity his fate, but must adinir, his wondrous generosity, for
all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true love never
did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " compiti-
teurs," and to him they do come " petit oars," for they prove per-
fect bears, or, more properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
n a grand scale, a sort of " tiff tbr the million," takes place, which,
ithoagh beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of
THE SPANISH ARMADA!

By Warner's Fulminatinz Blow-up—Tragedy has now done his
worst, and Rica 11 ruling that even Rich must become poor if war
continues, proposes a" Peace Congress," and brings ull to a close
by making them all change their clothes—
