QUERIES for the QUEEN.
As England's Queen has made a stay
Among the Highland laddies,
It is but right that she should pay
A visit to the Paddies.
The Queen will have a welcome there,
While.bells from every steeple,
With merry music will declare
The gladness of her petryle.
But will our gracious Sovereign meet
Across St. George's waters,
With warmer hearts than those which beat
In England's sons and daughters.
And when she, views, with beaming smile,
The scenenrwhich there await tier;
Will she be weaned from Albion's Isle,
And think Hibernia greater?
Much will she see in that famed part.
But when her visit closes,
Will she have seen a greater Mart
Than that of Messrs. Moses ?
In Trowsers, Coats, and Waistcoats, too,
Will Ireland's shears or needle
Shame Moses' Mart, which stands in view
Of Aldgate's parish beadle?
Or if she buy a Habit there,
In which sbe sometimes dresses,
Will she consider the affair
Better than M. and S.'s.

No answer need my readers give,
While thus they are surrounded
With stubborn facts, which negative
The queries I've propounded.
