" THE DEAN WANTS MILK !"

" Twenty-two processes have been served upon the tenants of
Lord Grantley for obsolete tythe claims, made by the Dean and
Chapter of Ripon, in the small town of Grantley. We have
been informed that, amongst other claims, is one set up for a
tythe of milk ! Several poor persons had as much as five shillings
demanded from them for this tythe, and the affair has created
such a sensation at Ripon, that the very walls are chalked with
Take the Dean milk !' The Dean wants milk ! r--York
Courant.

" The Dean wants milk." He cloth (and how
He gets it he is mindless)
But more than milk of parish cow,
The milk of human kindness.

" The Dean wants milk." Superfluous cry !
lie's milked so long and fast,
The poor old parish cow is dry,
He's milked her out at last.

" The Dean wants milk." Oh specious phrase
To hoodwink John Bull's caution,
And serve, a thousand various ways,
As pretext for extortion!

When Althorp next essays to lay
Fresh tax on wool or silk,
In Ripon's happy phrase he'll say,
No doubt, " The Dean wants milk."

Lawyers, " The Dean wants milk" will cry
(They're thirsty souls, you know,)
Then straight proceed to drain you dry
As Ripon's parish cow.

Physicians too, I can foresee,
Will thus their patients bilk,
For what phrase sounds so harsh as " fee,"
Or what so soft as " milk ?"

Thus too sly Dan in accents meek,
Will ask—not Erin's wealth,
But—just one draught of milk per week
To keep him in good health
Then, oh John Bull, your cow secure,
(Like Andrew of that Ilk)*
Or some dry Dean or Dan, be sure,
Will swallow all your milk.

• Vide Galt's Memoirs of that keen worldly, quick-witted
Scotchman .. Sir Andrew Wilie of that Ilk."
