EPILOGUE, SPOKEN BY COLONEL GREVILLE.

What is Pic Nic ? I hear you all exelzim,
'What sloes it mean, and whence the odious name ?
It treans no miL:hief, thus far I may tell,
Nor is it, as Come think, an Imp of Heti I
Tbo*, ifkliethi. like Talifmans of old,
It gives to its Polreffor wealth untold.
Some think 'tis certainly Paid I"! bog,
While others think it limply means the Stacks!
Mils Magnet bloating lifps.—it means the Straw.
:ti But's comforted when told, we all by Law.
Some ray none better can define the wurl
Than .1111 Towirai and Sir Ric Ha RD FORD;
While others, tho' in Juhnfua they ean't find it,
Still famellow think that Sn GRID AN'S d:fin'd it.
•
For me tho"rainß my will, I frankly own
Its myllic qualities mull loon be known
For fault ring up St. j..ntees-ftreet to-day,
I heard a friend captain it inthis way :
A Pit Ni. is a devilifh clever plan,
Invented when the fearcity began ;
liy which a Supper by the guefts is given,
That feeds the Halt at kali be days in levee ;
And while it practices to make them merr7,
likeplenUh.3 his bins with Port and Sherry.
A general laugh annonncA the approbation
W:th which Pk Xis rectiv'd interpretation.
While fneaking off TT -e vea'd. I plainly law,
Our Pk Me d.ustn'sl by &air', nut by Low.'
To you, more I commit my fate,
Oh' fare wy Fare. by emptying cv'ry Plate;
Leave no ale: pickings for your needy Hollig
And grant fame refpite to the Afore/mg Pqf.
But e'er with madeft look I mike my bow,
One word to proper manly pride allow.
Under whatever name this Meeting goes,
'That rail d a halt of mean, malignant foes;
Nut fuck as general blame (hauls' (unman forth,
But foes alike to candour as to worth.
It then th' Amufements of Ten facial Nights
Rafe Virtue's blunt, or trench on Patent Rights.

If this be rmed, than why one hour aidure
A • rifl;n6 pleafure. neither juft nor pure
But if your reafon owns r.o better cattle
For tamely Yielding, than Ntwfpaper

Or w hat, perhaps, you'll deem more galling Rill,
The i cdly Mandates of the Greetsroom will;
Then \et that reafon fpum a Mimic Throne.

The moil furpAng thing in town, and the rub •
Oft of general converfation, is the very aftouith-
mg fagacity and curious performances of the ftu-
pendous Male Elephent at PIDCOCK'S Grand Me-
nagerie, Exeter 'Change. This animal is endowed
with faculties which appear rational, and far ex-
ceeds every idea that may be formed without fee-1
ing him. To the admiration of innumerable vili-
tors he has indicated the hour and minute of the
day with the grcatell precifion, and told any figure
written down by the company. He opens and thus
locks, &c. &c. In Ihort, the natural hiltorian and
amateur never had a better opportunity than the
prefent for viewing, at PIDCOCK'S Grand Mena-
gerie, Exeter 'Change, not only the above noble
curiofity,bnt tome hundred' other rare and beauti-
ful foecimens of their favourite pnrfuit.—The Pro-
prietor continues to purchafe and exchange all
