CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A. YEAR,
But although he comes in snow, he still hopes to meet with a warm
reception—hut 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
sly Joe, John," and " I am Rich," that's mere than every one can
say ;we wish they could—Hoer to make a Pantomime ?—" that is
ni ht"
the question"—but the answer, it is hoped, will s atisfactory—
Peer Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, so we fly by
g to
A SPLENDID HALL IN TBESS HE PALACE OF GOOD
UEEN .
We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at
katley's would say, " Let us be serions." 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 conspt-
racy—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets
quite 'in a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his hea -but there's
nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary.
It is an historical Cut, 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! I 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 next will certainly follow—and then will be seen
GOOD QUEEN BESS
n all her royal splendour.—lt is an Historical Fact, that Good
lueen Eesa, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she
scarcely knew upon which to decide"—and it is an Historical Fact
that the following were a few of them.
THE REJECTED O 1 ..S :
Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa,
Prince Aleneon, Marquis of. Winchester, the King of Sweden,
ilenry 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 "wouderous proper ince 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
CUM NOR HALL BY MOONLIGVT—WiIson.
"Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee,
ivy darling "—Retchy, ketchy, Put out ht
and thee"—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil-
worth—He stops at Love's half-way house, he

—" Oh,
Susanna," or rather " Oh, Amy!"— can't be said, he
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."
Ind 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
he ever hoped for in return was--half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Shakspere, 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, er, more properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
on a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million," takes place, whica,
although beginningTHE SPANISH in love, ends in war, and the total destruction
of
