POETRY.

PROLOGUE
To the Play of " GIOVANNI IN IRELAND."
WRITTEN BY JOHN TAYLOR, ESL/.
SPOKEN BY MR. COOPER.
Critics ! withhold your awful frowns awhile,
And seek with us to-night our sister Isle,
Where Nature revels in her vivid green,
And storied beauties animate the scene.
There Royalty will stretch_ a parent hand,
And soon with added blessings cheer the land ;
Soon heavenly Peace her balmy, sway resume,
And ERIN spread around her richest bloom.
Of late our Stage with mimic. grandeur shone,
Reflecting splendours of the British Throne :
That Throne where Freedom guards the subject's right,
And where benignant Mercy tempers Might.
• New scenes of regal pomp to-night we shew,
-Scenes that should make each Irish bosom glow.
IlinEusiA's Patron Saint his Knights shall view
In barmaid dignity, with honours due.
Long may his sons uphold their martial fame,
His friends to succour, and his foes to tame,
'Long may the sister Isles accord with pride,
Nor aught divide.them but the rolling tide;
And,- while secure from every boStile stroke, •
The SHAMROCK flourish with the BRITISH OAK.
