CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,
But although he comes in snow, he still hopes to meet with a warm
reception—but where is he going? Why, to pay his yearly visit to
the dpirit of John Rich; in the
GHOSTLY CITY OF DEPARTED FUN.
This city is composed of the Tombs of the by-gone Pantomimes—
" Who's dat knocking at der door?"—Come and see—" J. Anderson's
my Joe, John." and " I am Rich," that's more than every one can
say ; we wish they could—How to make a Pantomime ?—" that is
the question"—but the answer, it is hoped, will be satisfactory—
Poor Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, so we fly by night" to
A SPLENDID HALL Iv TIIE PALACE OF GOOD
QUEEN BESS.
We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at
Astley's would sat, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact,
aiat the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess,
tik4refore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi-
racy—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets
(mite in a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his head—bat there's
nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary.
It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her
toilet by many of her nobleman, therefore the
GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE

is introduced, in which the Royal Wig! the Royal Ruff ! ! the
,•oyal Blushes !! ! and the Royal Petticoat ! ! will mate their
t‘rst appearance on any stage, and trust to the " Mal Indulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by
GOOD QUEEN BESS
en deshabille, as she Is represeuted 114 a picture at Ilaapton Court.
—What comas next will certainly follow—and then will be seen
GOOD QUEEN BESS
in all her royal splendour.—lt is an Historical Fact, that Good
Queen Bess, like " Young Susan" —" had lovers so many that she
scarcely knew upon which to decido"—and It is an Historical Fact
that the following were a few of them.
THE REJECTED ONES :
Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of An joa,
rrince Aleneon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden,
Itienry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William
Pickering, Charles Blount, and the Earl of Arran. Good Queen
Bess appoints a meeting of these " wonderous proper men" at
Kenilworth, but declares, that on her way, " A hunting she will go"
—and having got on the " High Horse," the story gallops on to
CUMNOR lIALL BY MOONLIGUT —Wilson.
" Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee,
,ity darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ket;hy—" Put out the Wrist,
and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Rend-
werth—He stops at Love's half-way houie, the Itobsar Arms—" Oh,
Susanna.," or rather " Oh, Amy !"—lt can't be said, "he makes no
bones about it "—They part, '' more In sorrow, than in anger," but,
" being gone, Amy is herself again "—that is to say, a rather jealous
young lady, who to her " deep despair," introduces her Lovely
Babby, to whom she sin;s the following pathetic stanza :
" Come my babby, come along with me
We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth,
Your naughty dal to see,"
And so they do.
