CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,
Bat although he comes in goinge still hopes to meet with a warm
reception—but where is he ? Why, to pay his yearly visit to
the Spirit 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 mere 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
QUEEN
BESS IN THE PALACE OF GOOD
We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at
Astley's would say, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact,
that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess,
therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi-
racy—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets
quite in a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his head—but there's
nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary.
It is anon;rical fact, that Good Queen Bess was/assisted at her
toilet by ocher noblemen, therefore the
GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE
is introduced, in which the Royal Wig ! the Royal Ruff ! ! the
Royal Blushes ! 1 and the Royai Petticoat 11 ! will make their
first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " usual indulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by
GOOD QUEEN BESS
en deshabille, as she is represented in a picture at Hampton Court.
—What comes nextGOOD will certainl
QUEyRN follow—and
BESS then will be seen
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 decide"—and it Is an Historical Fact
that the following LATHE f them.
REJECTED ONES :
Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa,
Prince Alenqon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden,
Henry 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 " woaderous 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
CUMN OR HALL BY 3100NLIGIIT—Wilsen.
•4 Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee,
nay darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ket3hy—" Put out the light,
and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil-
worth—He stops at Love's half-way house, the Robsar 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 in her "deep despair," introduces her Lovely
Babby, to whom she sings the following pathetic stanza :
" Come my babby, come along with me
We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth,
Your naughty dad to see."
And so they do.

, KENILWORTH CASTLE.
As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit.
For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori-
cal fact that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and
" paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there-
fore we pity his fate, but must admire 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 leve never
did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " compiti-
tetus," and to him they do come " petit ours," for they prove per-
fect bears, or, more properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
on a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million," takes place, which,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of
THE SPANISH ARMADA!
By Warner's Fulminating Blow-up—Tragedy has now done his
worst, and Rich finding that even Rich must become poor if war
continuer, proposes a " Peace Congress," and brings all to a close
by making them all change their clothes—
The Earl of Leicester puts on the motley garb of Harlequin, M.
Derilin.
Lord Burleigh that of Pantaloon, H. J. DenlM.
The Earl of Essex that of Clown, Mr. C. Stilt,
And Amy itobsart dons the Robe d'Amonr of Columbine, Madlle,

Theodore.
Al we have further to say for Good Queen Bess is—Vivat Regina,
and of she goes." " Welcome, Old Friends, 'tis long since we
met 1" " Here we are 1" " How are you?"
