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 kneeking 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—
Peer Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, se we fly by night" to
A SPLENDID MALL IN THE PALACE OF GOOD
QUEEN BESS.
We now some 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 eonspi-
tasS,---Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be pat out—Bacon gets
quite in a &lade, 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
GRIND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE

is introduced, in which the Royal Wig! the Royal Ref ! ! the
Royal Washes ! ! ! and the Royal Petticoat ! ! ! will make their
first appearance on any stage, and treat to the " anal indulgence of
a British Pablic." These are followed by
GOOD QUEEN BESS
en deshabille, as she is represented in a picture at Harapton Court.
—What eomes neat will certainly follow—and then will be seen
GOOD QUEIAN BESS
In all her reyal splendour.—lt is an Historical Tact, that Good
~lueeit Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she
scarcely knew upen which to decide"—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 Injoa,
Prince Aleneon, 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
Bees appoints a meeting of these " woederous 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
C UMN OR HALL BY MOONLIGIAT—WiIson.
" Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee,
ay darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ket..thy—" Put out the light,
and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil-
worth— Pie stops at Love's half-way houe, 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,
Year naughty dad to see."
And so they do.
