THE MERMAID;
OR, THE SYRENS IN THE BOOTS;

THE potent Enchanter, whose magical skill,
Oar sense, spells bound by amazement can keep,
His voice who on mission dispatches, at will-
- Subservient in Air, oa the Earth, from the Deep!
While lately enjoying excursions aquatic,
Perform'd a new Fatee, in a new Corps Dratnatique!
The wave ripples gently, each sail hangs supinely,
A stillness the sir and the ocean pervade;
That voice ! hark again ! 'tis the Mermaid's divinely,
The ear of- attention transliz'd that Mvades ;
L'r.seen is the Syren, yet sweetly her song,
Is borne on the billows, by Rapture, along !
In Wizers's farn'd Liquid his Boots then array'd,
•lii. voice to the deep while the artist convey'd,
Again from each cave in soft numbers to flew,
Their shadows the mariners ey'd in his Soots,
From whence, in full chorus, a serenade shoots
From Syreas that gleam'd in the fine jetty glow !
Each shade in the Boots by reflection that glar'd,
A Minstrel appear'd, but the Tars ungrepu'd
To relish the strange and mysterious tones,
Now swore, that the Mermaid, deceiving them atilt,
On beard, some terrific decree to fulfil,
The imps had convey'd of the fiend Davy Jones!
The cauhe of the vuiccs and visions explain'a,
Now WARIPAN a n►utical fame has obtain'd ;
Each shade in the jet, to and fro as it shoots,
The mariners hail Davy Jones in the Bouts,
While elegance, fashion, and taste o'er the land,
Their voeries direct to the Mart in the Strand!
This easy Shining and brilliant ilincento, prepared by
