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 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 uestion"—but the answer, it is hoed, will oe satisfactory—
Poorq Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, sore fly by night" to
A SPLENDID HALL IN THE PALACE OF GOOD

QUEEN BESS.
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 Burieigh 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 ! ! ! '.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 nexGtO will
Dela UE y E
follow—and then will be seen
OQUEEN BE SS
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 deckle"—and it is an Historical Fact
that the following were a few of them.
TIIE REJECTED ONES :
Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, 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, but declares, that on her way, " A hunting she will go"
--and having got on the " lligh Horse," the story gallops on to
CUMN OR HALL BY MOONLIGILT—WIIson.
" Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee,
my darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ket.:hy—" 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
Debby, 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 Tisit.
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 admirl his wondrous generosity, for
all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Stiakspere, by discovering " that the course of true love never
did run smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " eompeti-
tears," 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 thr the million," takes place, which,
although beginning in love
SPANISH , ends in e
ARMADA I war, and th total destruction of

worst, and Rich finding that even Rich must become poor if war
continues, proposes a " Peace Congress," and brings all to a close
