The Sun.
London, England, 1847-05-17 00:00:00

Wewora will benefit all but his friends,
And I fancy will be with the odds and the ends.
Joim Scorr, not improving his very bad luck,
I imagine will be but amongst the great ruck.
MR. MARTIN will prove whether Blenkhom or Kent
Is best to be trusted for this Great Event.
The stable al Oroodwood is powerful, strong,
But the PLANET will find the distance too long.
GLENTILT is superb, as I understand,
But the GLEN it succumbs to the Hampshire high land.
Mr. Martin's been made a very great pot,
But he's not the best of the Mostyn great Lot;
The running at Chester may have been very well,
But at Epsom the coorse will a different tale tell.
The MrrcrrEu GRovz !Zags, tho' deprived of the Sage,
Are a dangerous Lot a war with to wage.
The RED HART steers steadily over the Hill,
The stout blood of Venison his arteries fill;
And tho' against the Dons he may not win the race,
At the finish he'll be in a capital place.
MONTPENSIER may run pretty smartly and stout,
And Oxotriax., I own, I know nothing about.
Zorn) RUSSELL'S a sportamau, his nag he will bring,
But he'll find that his NoTTING:fax is not a STING.
BOWSTRING may run the Great Stable to please,
But while running is backers are ill at their ease.
MER3IILLO, observe, is coming meanwhile
On the strength of his run o'er the PIIOSPNEROUS mile;
Bet he is no Phosperons, so I opine,
Ana must not expect in the Derby to shine.
The martial WAR EAGLE I cannot trust,
His highly raised banner will trail in the. dust.
For the COSSACK has beat him, and will beat him still;
The WAR EAGLE'S too soft to get over the Hill.
If MATHEMATICIAN comes well to the post,
There'll be grumbling enough 'bout the money that's lost;
If the Brother of Euclid is meant to pull through,
He'll pepper the cracks, and Physic them too.
The scholar will puzzle the Gnostics right well,
And make it more doubtful the winner to tell.
And now I declare, tho' I can't draw the line,
A dark one may come and put out the sunshine,
Make the fielders rejoice at the books they have made,
And the backers of horses fall back in the shade.
The great LIBERATOR a mile may run through,
With the race after that he'll have little to do;
To sum up the whole, should PLANET be well
And not stop at the Hill,;the tale he may tell.
There are five that first pass Mr. Clark's chair,
'Tis Planet, Day's two, Tromp and Red Hart that's there.
If any one wishes his fancy to back,
He must lay out his tin on the Chestnut COSSACK.
Folks have many fancies, but I have but one,
.The winner! he comes from the banks of the Don.
Exester, May 15, 1847. ESAU.

THE OAKS, 1847.
'Tis hard to atop ambitious men,
Tho' oft in trouble it has brought folks,
Yet I in ink will dip my pen,
To write what wins the Epsom great Oaks.
My yarn it will indeed be short,
There are but two I can discover
That will add to the exciting sport,
Unless foul SLANDER turn them over,
And when again I scan the field,
JERSET'S a gem of the first water,
But the proud aristocrat must yield
To the humble FARMER'S DAUGHTER.
Bicester, May 15, 1847.

ESAU.
