TWELFTH NIGHT;
OR, FALSE AND TRUE.
ASOCIABLE party, last Twelfth Night thought fit
Its talent to try at extempore wit ;
To tell one, a story unfounded Truth's laws on,
In manner exceeding even Baron. Munchausen ;

In style that the party should please and surprise.

THE MERRY DUNN OF DOVER.
The Vessel the Merry Dunn christen'd of Dover,
In length many leagues of the Ocean would cover !
At Sunderland cargoes of coals would receive
At her bow-port! and, what you will scarcely believe,
Would, at the same nine, from her stern-port discharge,
Belcw London Bridge, into lighter and barge !
A boy sent aloft, the ship's pendant to clear,
In ascent and descent for many a year,
Se long was about it, as an might presage,
That when he came down, he was grey with old age!
This ship from the Downs while her way working out,
In length was so great, that in tacking about,
Like some floating mountain, the dread of the people,
Her flying-gib-boom then knuck'd down Calais steeple !
Same time that her ensign's lung tail by a sweep
From. Dover heights struck off a large flock -of sheep !
The story thus ended, a Lady began—
" What is it that beats even the great Merry Dunn?
Whose standard of fame, many years now unfarrd,
Extends o'er the whole of the civilixed world I
The Merry Dunn merely to Ocean confined,
But this all the haunts still pervades of mankind;
Your vessel unwieldy ; but this gives a grace,
And stamps the criterion of Taste on your race."
" Tit Waanzar's Jet Blacking ! " each voice now replies.
And Truth thstaaeldeved of due honors the prize:
This Easy Shining and Brilliant BLACKING Prepared by
