ST. JAMES'S: A SATIRICAL POEM.
One Vol. pp. 151.
A good-humoured anti satirical poem, whose
thief fault is its playfulness. A St. James's
Pen should be taken in hand by a Churchill in
by
bitterest and most malignant moments, not
°Y a man of fashion, who looks even on the
Worst points of gambling with an indifference
amounting almost to approbation. With the
exception of this defect, St. James's deserves
praise ; its versification is correct and euphonious,
lts sentiments appropriate, and its humour—but
let the fol)owing extract speak for itself :
I've seen from forth their icy beds
The wine bottles in phalanx go :
And then, as right, in people's heads,
I've after, seen the spirits flow.
There I was present on that day,
Witness of that most sad affray—
When she (who used herself to say
Four bottles could not make her falter,
Nor either speech, or action, alter)
Either through accident, or fun,
Was most severely cut by one !
But though I take each giddy round
Which fashion makes us sometimes enter,
Where every fool is nightly found,
To form of equal fools the centre;
Still there is wanting something more
To elevate the sinking spirits;
Which, though sought elsewhero.o'er and o'er,
Thy charmed hall alone inherits. .

At Hurst, a short time since, an Exciseman,
who had been absent for some years, returned to the spot
Where love had invited his heart, and enquired for the
" fair one," when, behold ! she had taken for better
fee worse a thin-lathed tailor : at this discomfiting news
the limb of excise appeared' in the colours of a madman;
And then he called on Sally Brown
To see how she went on,
But she had got anther Ben,
Whose Christian name was John.
When he came to the house of the fortunate husband, who
was seated at the shop-board, he in a voice like thunder
demanded the wife. The tailor was surprised—with a
sleeve-board in his hand, he kept at a respectful distance,
When the Exciseman naade an aim at him with his fist, but
the tailor escaped by running away ; the other followed
across a garden, and over a wall, when the neighbours
mere alarmed, and sought the intruder : in return a fine
°wit ensued for near three miles, when the game took
4ver at a small public-house, named the Bull Inn. After
•
huntsmen came up, the tailor gave a treat to Mr.
eleernan, who seemed to swallow this feast of disappointed
