CHRIST WAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR,
But althougk 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 more than every one can
sae; we wish they could—How to make a Pantomime ?—" that is

A SPLENDID HALL
IN THE
BESS PALACE OF HOODUEEN .
We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as tke 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 pat out—Bacoa 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 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 whick the Royal Wig! the Royal RUIT! ! the
Royal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royal Petticoat ! ! ! ! will make their
first appearance on any stage, and tract to the " *seal indulgence of
a British Public." Theso are followed by
GOOD QUEEN BESS
en deshabille, as she is represented in a picture at Hampton Court.
—What eornes next will certainly follow—and then will be seen
GOOD QUEEN BESS
in all her royal splendour.—lt is en Historical Fact, that Good
Queen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she
scarcely knew upon which to deelde"—and it is an Historical Fact
that the following wereT a few of them.
HE REJECTED OYES :
Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa,
Prince Alencon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden,
Benry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William
?loitering, 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 MOONLIGILT—WiIson.
" Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee,
my darling "—tetchy, ketchy, ketchy—" 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 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 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 love never
dig run smooth," for kere he meets with some twenty " eompeti-
tears," and to him they do come " petit ours," for they prove por-
feet bears, or, more properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
en a grand scale, a sort of " tit for the million," takes place, which,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of

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

The Earl et Essex that of Clown, Mr. C. Stilt,

All we have further to say for Good Queen Bess is—Vivat Regina,
aid off she goes." " Welcome, Old Friends, 'tis long singe we
met !" " Here we are !" " How are you?"
