THE LORDED EARLY.+

BY WILLIAM P. MULoHNocK, OF DUBLIN.
IN my fortunes golden heyday,
In the spring time of the year
Loved well beanteous lady,
Who since acted very queer
was then such good fellowi''
Lots of chnking gold | had
Every evening waxed mellow,
Every morning waked sad
Every JOylol red faced swipef
Unto me his court would pay,
For they knew I'D pay the piper,
And the knowledgemade them gay;
While my full pul se they did handle
With magic new to Re,
Jhey would make one tallow candle
On my vision flare like three,
But one night they named creature
w no was passing rich and young;
Praised her angel east of feature
Praised the way she played and sung;
Pra'sed her sweet hps-their losition,
r Mlth the ivory between
a WSat he dsRi SSafq aiS y tSsy RsEsl,Sa %ssn2
Oh my heart with love was swelling,
And my hot cheek eolored high,
AS my wild mates named her dwelling,
With fierce wiTikings of the eye;
Where with pleasure they d resort all,
For their hearts too fell Loves flame,
Butthat mortal to her portal
Alter sunset never came.
Jolly MORALS, fiI your glasses,''
Hark that younkeT's carol gay:
In a. Drummer toast the lrssss,
We have still some hours ill day.
As the daytime is the right time
. On our worldly cares to think,
so the night time is the bright time,
,,And the httest time TO drink ~
van the luie, the burdened chorus,
when the heart is sad within
VAN the rosy wine before us,
:: =, Vain the merry fesial din;
lnthe pokas bounding measure
a, yam the youthful poets lay,
van the lamp-it halls of pleasure,
When the heart is far away
IN Loves move. feeling spurning,
More OF bumpers strong and sweet,
FROM my Joyous CO. mates turning,
Out staggered to the street;
Hnere all round me, alter drinking.
A most wondrous change iound;-
AL things seemed unto my thinking
ina wild dancespinning round.
'Twss the houses first began 1t,
4, nen We Nag; ways, while on high
Every brightly blazing planet
Ran and wriggled Though the sky;
was hy9ng to count their number,
ana laughed with sudden glca,,
As rceled to earth, where siunber
Deep and sweet stole oVerme
Felt next hand rough shaking,
=. - deard then well known voice:
Rouse thee, Jenkins for thy waking
,,, w ats the maiden of thy choice
Thou art in her manson splendid: -
see. she conleth like a bride
BY her haldm fair attended
LO! she sitteth atthy sde!''
Heard | then, with great heart.fiutter,
A soft rnstllng as of silk,
Ana VOICE that low did mutter
,,Mords like "spooney'' and like 80 biIk y
Opi gazed; andsdNg above me
Her bright face and witching eyne.
Whose muleeloquence said "Love me,''
70 AS they downward looked on mine
felt then her taper finger
uT1 9ncmnS mine with pressure light,
Froye STs spe n3S s1has hos Love, Low, why dost linger
See thy merry mates before thee
To the loaded table move?
DnpK 1F S ths bumper, twill restore thee,
II You drink to her you love-"
After slumber, slightly reeHng,
Down. sat me at the board
GaZed aloft from fiooe to ceiling, ..-.--
Then on her whom adored
Oyer lobster, over widgeon,
g She the rosy wine did Qpaff =
Nhlie whene'er she named me "piReon -
1,Loud LOUD my merry mates did laugh.
NsNea Tslst ne fun al fast and furious,
o.f Called lond for cards and dice;
vi; Twas passing strange and curious
Ihat they brought them in trice!
Twas diddled; so quarrelled,
N, As d nothing moe to lose
fMIed md OF pistols, doubled -baneled,
Ihat never meant To use;
Flung then huge decanier
Al my peerless lady's head,
10 the Bndewell had me led.
To the winds flung religion
Ere left, and wished bad luck
To ySs6 ths dame a, who's tongue hsPFed pigeon"

While the hateful eurs, policemen,
