POETRK

From the Augusta Geo. Chronicle.
The following beautiful parody
which we met with in the hands OF
respectable friend, and were permitted
by him to take copy for publication
is attributed to the Hon. Warren X.
Davis, of South Carolina--a gentleman
no less distinguished, admired, and be-
loved, for his many and striking litera-
ry requirements, private virtues, socI-
al qualities, fine manners, polished,
varied, and brilliant wit, and vivid fam
cy, than for his ardent patriotism, open
and fearless honesty, independence, ell
equence and disinterested devotion to
his gallant and glorious State. 1t is
said to have been written on the spor-
tive suggestion of the moment, as a
contribution to the Album of the tall
ented, accomplished, and witty lady Of
the Hon. Mr.. Johnson, of the United
States Senate, from Louisiana. The
old air Of "Roy's wife of AldivalIoch, p"
is, we think, one of the most rare and
beautiful specimens of that class OF
Scottish music, which was probably in
troduced from Italy, in the time of the
brilliant, but unfortunate Queen Mary.
