THE FLOWER OF CONNAUGHT TO
THE NOBLE DUKE.

Dear Wn.tancitos, honey !—how dirty you trate us!
Was then all your promise to help us a dram.?
I wrote ye a littur, sure--hindng potatoes—
But divil an answer I've had to dat same.
Since ever I tasted sweet emancipation,
My true Irish stomach still goes to rebel ;
Till rashers of bacon, and wholesome potation,
I thinks to myself had perhaps done as well.
Last night we want all out to murder and plunder,—
Shell, Jerry, Pat, Dinnis,—and half a score more ;
When up came the soldiers, and tnuld, to our wander,
We had no more right to dat fun than before.
By the Powers! then, O'Coseet and you have desaved us,
And all your fine emancipation's a trick,—
You serve us no more than when lately you braved us ;
But if that you'r joking,—beware of Pat's stick.
The Priest of the parish mares all is not done yet,—
The King must as pardon and grace from the Pope ;
And swears, blood and tundra. !—that we shall have fun yet—
And Bishops, like onions, swing high on a rope.
Gels ! last night, dead drunk aid glad joy and good whiskey,--
'• My tight Flower of Connaught"—said he—" never mind
Dat naked you are—blood and ouns—still be frisky—
Tho' maybe your stomach be bodered wid wind.
" Foe de lads dat can do it—Loyola's blest childer,
Have now got a bit of their finger well in,—
And the body will follow entire, and bewilder,
The rogues that vaunt freedom and Protestant sin."
Meantime, send the praties,—we're dying wid hunger :
Tho' Ireland now saved finds your Government sweet,-
06 I—we can afford to be happy no longer—
But sigh to be wretched wid something to eat.
