A whimsical Work has just been pubrtshed, under
the above title. The admirers of SRAKEIPZARI will
perhaps consider it as an unpardonable outrage upon
the chief production of our great Dramatic Bard ;
but if they trust themselves beyond the confines of
the Preface, their gravity will probably relax, and
the odd humour Which characterises the Work alto.
gether will, we doubt not, induce diem to forgive the
author of this very ludicrous freak of fancy. The
Annotations, which ate equally ludicrous, appear
under the venerable authority of Dr. JOHNSON, GEO.
Sraorns, and other Commentators.
SONG.—OPPSZLIA.—(Tune—Mrs. Clarke.)
My Lord,. you must billow,
A few minutes ago,
In my room I was darning a stocking:
New conceive my alarm, '
Vl'hen,' (not dreaming of harm),
was rous'd by a violent krockirg.
I thought 'tsres Cild Scratch,
So I fasten'd.the latch,
And went on with my work as befure;
But whilst my needle I was threading,
Ldrd Hamlet popp'd his head in—
d'ye mind, he laded Open the doOr !
His doublet unhrac'd
Was slung rsund his waist,
And his stoskings were dirty and loose :
He was pale as a sheet,
And could scarce keep his feet.—
Thus he came in, and atar'd likes goose!
He took bold of my wrist,
Ant omit a twist
That made in! to quiver and quake :
He then began to pit
As the' he meant to driw my phi: ;
, And then gave me a terrible slake.
• Next, so sadly he sigh'd,
Lea ! i tbouifit he'd Lave died;
• Then he thrice up and doWn shook his noddle.
After treating me so,
He thought,* to let me go ;
And thee toit'rtls the stain did he waddle
Tens a chance be dld'nt fall
Over hanalstersiud aft,
tor, Vvow, not a amp could he see;
. To my utter surprise,
II foend bib way without his eyes—
tbe last they wire bait nton me!
