THE CIIINESE -ENVOY.
SAID TO BE A FACT.
ABRITISH Embassy was some time since
Sent not from England to a Chinese Prince,
Not by the way of compliment, 'tis granted,
But to gain something that the English warned.
To give the thing crt.ii, it was but right
To dub the Envoy something of a Knight,
And ilx upon his coat souse mark of war,
A dashing pointed brilliant diamond star !
The Envoy and his suite, the voyage o'er,
Treads upon Chine.; long-expected sh,:re ;
And yet have many a league on land to pass, .
Ere they can see the great metropolis.
•
A sad misfortune soon the party met,
Their baggage by freebauters was beset,
And the dear valuable star and all,
- Did to the hands of robbers basely fall.
What could be done) without his robes and star
'Twas useless that the Envoy came so far.
A shoemaker was found, whose art supplied
A very dectnt star, six inches wide.
Of leather neatly made, which polish'd over
With WARREN'S Riad*, all deceit did cover;
In fact, so brilliantly the leather shone,
The Envoy scarce could tell it from his own.
And thus with WAaissx's splendour on his breast,
The Monarch ;rants the Envoy his request.
Therefore, would future Embassies succeed,
Let them provide themselves, in case of need,
Its brilliancy will answer, I'll engage them,
Erg), necessstas nun habit legum! • •
