Statesmen and orators do not abound,
But a new Chamberlain is quickly found.
Soon as one Gold Stick drops into disgrace,
Up springs another to supply its place.

The jockies roared for Hylas,
But Hyias was away,
The iockies sought fOl iiylas,
They sought HIN night and day.
But go We to his stable,
Dig deep beneath the ground,
And there, with all his teeth drawn out,
Poor Hylas viii betound.

For England's veal and Georges Glory,
But Canning's self may well excuse
The little twinge we feel to lose

Ungrateful, sullen, savage, cold,
The peoples scorn, the army's hate,
Can this be he, the wise, the bold,
The loved, the feared the good, the great
Whom Majesty rejoiced to see
A constant guest at the pavilion,
Whom Parliament was proud tofee
With a small present OF million

What fiend, my Lord, in Eldon's shape,
Enticed YOU into such scrapei
What has shrewd old Scot like you
With such an idle brawl TO do?
IL W would your cunning father stare
To see such madness in his heir
For shame, Renounce this strange grimace,
Think on the real delights of place
To rule each trade and each profession,
Each Dean of Guild and Lord of Session.
To fill the maws and clothe the backs
of fifteen hundred awnlng Macs;
TO pension all the lads andIasses
of n VS. aud Drummonds and Dindasses,
And deal commissions round b. dozens
Through hgh-checked rows If twentieth cousins.

Thrice fortunate old man, to thee alone
The griefs which rack thy brethren are unknown.
While Melville's heart becomes heavier load
At every stage along the Northern road;
While Ehlon, tortured by paternal fears,
Counts the small savings of laborous years,
: plans a secure escape from duns and gaos
To some cheap cot IN Devon or in Wales,
And hopes b. frugal care, in that retreat,
With small assistance to make both ends meet,
Thou with unchanged effulgence still wilt shine,
Thine is the council, and the ieree thinei
Still shall thy heart beat higher at the ray,
Which gilds the suspicious morn OF quarter day.
With that meek vece that would not scare a mouse
Sill, shalt thou lull the murmurs of the House,
In manner gentle as in matter bold,
Shalt prove old rags equivalent to gold,
Or for fresh measures of dead weight shalt call,
ThyseE, Heaven knows. the deadsst weight OF all
