CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,
' `"" ` • ''

But althon,,,ihe comes in snow, ha still hopes to meet with a warm
reception—but where is he going ? Why, to pay his yearly visit to
the gpirib 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. Andersen'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—

A SPLENDID HALL IN THE PALACE OF GOOD
QUEEN BE.SS.
. _ _

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—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 noblemen, therefore the
GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE

is introduced, in which the Royal Wig! the Royal Ruff!! the
Royal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royal Petticoat ! I! ! will make their
first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " nasal indulgence of
a British Public." These are followed by - •
GOAD QUEEN LESS
en deshabille, as she is represented in a picture at Hampton Court.
—What comes nextvrtll certainly follow—and then will be seen
GOOD QUEEN BESS
in all her royal splendour.---It is an Historical Fact, that Good
Zueen hogs, like "Young Same—. had lovers, so many that she
scarcely knew upoa which to decide"—and it Is an. Historical Fact
that the following Were, a few of them.
: THE REJECTED ONES:
Philip of Spain, Prince Aapert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa,
Prince Alengon, 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 " wonderous proper men" at
Kenilworth, bat declares, that on her way, " A hunting she will go"
—and having got on the " High Horse," the story gallops on to
CUMNOR HALL BY MOONLIGIIT—WiIson.
" Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee,
my darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ketzhy—" Put out the light,
and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil-
worth— fie steps 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 hersen again "—th it is to say, a rather jealous
young lady, who in her " deed despair," introduces her Lovely
Babhy, to whom she sings the following pa:little stanza :
" Come my babby, co:ne along with me
g,) to far-famed Kenilworth,
lour naughty dad to see "
Ind so they do,

KENILWORTH CASTLE
As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Eess'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 gorgeoni 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 lave never
did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " competi-
teurs," and to him they do come " petit oars," for they prove per-
fect bears, or, reore properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
on a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million," takes place, witch,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of

worst, and Rich finding that even Rich must become poor if war

by making them all change their clothes—

Ali we have further to say for Good Queen Bess is—Trivat Regina,
and off she goes." " Welcome, Old Friends, 'tis long since ws
met !" " Here we are !" " How are you?"
