EPILOGUE,

AI Tar irEW PLAY, CIILLRD " TIIC SONS OF FRIN ; OR,
hIpDTRX SENTIMENT;" NOW PERFOSMING JIT TUE
MUM THEATRISPOKEN ET MRS. EDWIN.

I own I'm puttied at our bard's intent,
In making vrar 'pima tendrn sastimemt 1
Mercy ! where has she liv'tl!---for by the way
• I trust you've heard a Lay wrote the Play.-
Ala I pear dear soul, It seems she little knows
The-modern sentiments of modern beaux—
Bold, fierce, and noisy, when they dare intrude ;
They think their manhorid's shown by being rude;
Tn outrage decency, their frequent boast,
And all their sentiment—a drunkard's toast.
Whisker'd from ear to nose, %would seem they thecae
To form the !kit 'twist Gentlemen and Jews!—
We thought, when one behind our a.!enes appear'd,
'Twas Marko. 51.t...1cr, in old Shylacrx beard—
Or, as waste land • most weeds and rubbish bear,
That unplough'dl;rains bring greatest crops of hair.
But could you view their mounting genius soar,
Tlie hero mark, in his baron:he and four—
With gait and action for the part pri par'd,
The drayman's s4aggering roll, and bruizer's guard ;
See him ascend the box with surly grace,
And eye each strap, with thonktful, solemn, fate—
Ilis.horses thorough bred, his cai raze new„
Patents, and postliorns, crowding on our view,
Long reins, short tonmiles, and the Lord knows what,
He's off—arid now—the nags begin to trot.
He'll do—he'll do—of. ! wonderful ro say
What Greenwich stage performs twelve times a dray. -
But sertiment, at least, you'll say, finds place
When beauty trios !—alas! 'tis not the case ;
Like gout, when cbas'd by the tes.dieitale eau, '
Eiriv'n from the heal, it now has seia'd the toe.
Wax-ends and bris•les, h..mmrr, lasts, and leather,
Have ruin'd love and shoemaking together.
No more Miss Glancer now each breast controuls,
Instead of piercing hears, she's stitching soles.
No more Miss Lange 's!: weeps her Cynthio false,
But pares the pumps in which Mama's to waltz ;
For prudent (laugh, cm now are chaprens all,
While whirling dowagers keep up the ball!
(la, happy forecast in this ticklish age,
When half our Noblemen can drive a stage;
When high-bred dames can make or mend their shoer,
Coachmen and coblers can't have much to leer:.
What ! are our beaux all =steed in this Lea
Oh ! no ; behold the rung diploniatiat—
Cold, prim, and prudent, vera'd in practis'd bows,
With mock solemnity, be gravely vows
Ask what you will—if but the time of day,
a He's—a—wholly ignorant, sod—a.-cannot say;"
Nay, never doubt the dull mysterious youth,
The suckling Envoy strictly speaks the truth;
The path to office well he knows to choose,
Shrinks fuss reports, and files the sound of news:
' That great at c;:• maxim guarding still his way,
a Who nothing knows, no secrets can betray t"
burlei fee soleavaity.]
Let's see what Belle shall next appear before you,
The Lady Chymist in If r larh'ratory ?
She'll tell what oxygen and hydrogen appears,
And how proportion'd, in her Lover's tears.
But vain are ail his vows, soft tivha sad flattery,
Cupid's no match ter a carbonic battery;
I;he Loser flits,-the learned tonrtship ends,
And if he takes a wi.e, 'tis now—a jetty,.
Where then does genuine sent '.rent appear ?
When modest talent pleads fer mercy—/.;r. :
For merry dad I sue l—no--for applause—
What British is slack is Ifrostasi cause?
In Freedom's aid the patriot shaft ti 0 drew;
What if the bow be weak, her aim was true!
She sees Britannia's anchor is a trip,
And pipes all haede to rime the noble ship :
Eligland—lrtlated.calls—their guide would prove
And seal their twine with a bra- her's love !

We have to congratulate the Public upon the very
great excellence which the An of Drawing in Water
Colours, has of late years been brought to. The
Collection of Drawings executed by Mr. WILKIN, jun.
now on view at 39, Sackville-street, displays a truth,
a vigour, and a richness of colouring, which rivals
the splendid works of Trrotsa of Rumors, and the
other great Masters, from which they have been
copied. This small but select collection of drawings
has very deservedly met with universal admiration.
PVGILISNI.—Yewerday Dutch Sam received a
challenge horn John Ford, a Bristol candidate for
pugilistic fame, to fight him for lt)0 guineas. Ford
Is the man who lately fought with and beat Jem
King, the turnpike-man. aam never was in better
health or spirits ; he has accepted the challenge,
which is dated from. the Castle Tavern, Holborn,
but does not certify the time or place of combat.
The Marquis of Seim passed through Shrewsbury
on Thursday morning, at half past 11 o'clock, in a
carriage and four horses, mith one servant, on his
w: y •from London to Holyhead ; and a Gentleman
is travelling the other road through Chester, for the
purpose of deciding which of the two can reach Ho-
lyhead st,onest. The wager is for 1000 guineas.—
The Marquis travelled the stage from Hay-gate to
Shrewsbury, a distance if ten miles, in 35 minutes ;
and fr >ni thence to Nescliff (eight miles) in no mi-
mutes, and was two hours aad a half bJore his time.
FATAL FITECIS FltoW noaxiso.--At Beccles Ses-
sions, a melancholy circumstance was witnessed.—
A young man, named Hubbard, from Debenham, had }
been committed to Woof;: ridge Br idewell, upon sus- ,
picion of having stolen a saddle from Mr. Thomas t
I)arby, of Keaton, which in fact, 1..1d been taken off(
241 r. Dar by's horse by some other person in a joke, I
thrown into a riveter, and afterwards taken up ant!
carried home by rhis young man, wan williegly re.
stored it as soon a's he knew the owner. Upon his
comvnitn:ent, his young wife, who was far advanced
in pregnancy. was taken very ill, and remained der- t
ing his continerrant, in a wretched state of mind,
continually calling out for her husband. Alas ! she
never saw him more. On the night previous to r}aae
Sessions, at which an indictment was to have been
preferred against him, she died in a state of distrac-
tion, leaving her disconsolate husband in prison to
bewail her loss. As soon as the affair was made!
known to the Magistrates, they humanely directed
the recognizances to prosecute to be witliarawn, and
the young man to be immediately restored to his dis-
c ansolate friends.
A man, decently dressed, attracted much notice
cn Saturday near Temple Bar, where he stood for
many hours with a label in front of his hat with the
fellowin:a inscription :7" 1 am starving, I want
work, and have a good character."
STEALING DF.AD BODlES.—Saturday morning, at
an early hour, a mrmber of pet sops assembled in
Streatham church-aard, drawn together by curiosity,
excited by the disturbed state of the grave of Thomas
and Adam Lee, who were executed on Monday last
at Horsemouger-lane, 'for • highway robbory, and
whose bodies were afterwards interred'in Streatham
churcli-yard. On examining the grave, it was disco-
vered that the bodies had both been taken from the
coitus and colavejettitwalN

IMr. Moms, to have Mr. Wilson removed frnm the

place a person who had pawned Articles belonging to
the Theatre.
Mr. NVerlignAtt. and Mr. THOITPSON argued the
