TO THE REAL PROTESTANTS OF
THE EMP [RE.

" Quis Custodiet Custodes ?"

Ring the alarum-bell 1 Throughout the land
Send forth the cry of warning, stern and deep ;
Up, for your liberties a Judas-band
Betray the fortress while its guardians sleep ;
Or some of them (kind heaven still keep them few)
Play Doubleface,—as twain* have dared to do.
Shame on those guardians : urge them to their trust ;
Rouse them to duty with a shout as dread
As that which levell'd, promptly, with the dust,
The false king's hopes, what time the false king fled :
He of the Stuarts' race ; and Jesuits' zeal ;
Last of his line, because—let truth be said—
He strove The Reformation to repeal ;
But Protestants repeal'd,—his treacherous power ,instead
2.

Ring the alarum-bell Too near the throne
The vipers nestle who may sting the heir:
Ring, till the mother-occupant shall own
The peal thrice bless'd that wailed her of the snare.
That gentle occupant, so fair, so good,
Dreams not of fraud—herself devoid of guile—
Of teachings, trim/it'd, to be misunderstood;
Of treason, 'tis no less, beneath a smile :
For lie is traitor, blank against the crown,
Whoe'er the Puseyite poison would infuse,
And pull the sworn, imperial wearer down
From Protestant to Theocratic views ;
Traitor to God, and man, and all his vows :
Some such are near the throne—let this your zeal arouse

That zeal work out in action. O'er the realm,
Fulmine the ceaseless summons of your fears,
'Till Protestant indignance overwhelm,
And set the sleek Iscariots by the ears.
Hath not the Chapel Royal heard them preach,
The Church, a power divine, above the State ?
And, thus, before the Queen's own face, impeach
Her title to be greatest o'er the great.
For quibble as these medium-mongersf may,
Who most, on Truth, the well-defined, make war ;
The Church which they'd enslave us to obey;
Their mediatorial priesthood we abhor;
So high prerogatived as they pretend,
Were paramount—to such, Queen, People, all must bend !
BOANERGES.

London, imprimis : Exeter, misserime.
t The " Media Via" men, whose plausibilities tend more
than the directest efforts of the whole extreme party to obli-
terate every line of demarcation between Protestant liberty
(civil and religious) and theocratic absolutism, and by dint of
such insidious obliteration, to entrap us, at last, into abject
priest-worship. As a proof, in action, of this tendency and
intent, behold the great " Media Via " impostor voting in
favour of Mr. Ward, and, consequently, against honest sub-
scription, and the commonest good faith.

ENAMELLING.—We have received several beautiful
specimens of this art, executed in gold and copper on
letter paper, by J. Windsor. Those in copper are de-
cidedly superior, and have a fine effect from the various
tinges of colour exhibited according as the light is
thrown upon them. Windsor Castle and the New
Houses of Parliament aro very favourable specimens
both for the correctness of the outline and the colouring.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Notwithstanding the in-
creasing attraction of the new ballet of Les Danaides
further novelties are in preparation. La Bayadere will
be produced on Thursday, for Mademoiselle Maria; and
on Saturday Meyerbeer's immortal o 1: era of Robert le
Diable will be brought out here, with all possible effect.
Mr. Bunn's benefit is announced for March 3, and the
usual bumper will follow.
