MISCELLANEOUS READING.
From Punch.
Ode on the Departure Of the Prince OF Wales

From Punch.
de on the Departure Of the Prince OF Wales
Of the Laureate ,cont do his cork, Punch must0
Auspicious blow, ye gales,
And swell the Royal sails
That watt the Prince of Wales,
In a vessel of the line,
Away to Canada,
Across the ocean brine;
As the son of his Mamma,
His weather should be fine.
What transports the Canadians will eyince.
When they behold their youthful Princel
Not ours alone, but also theirs,
Each colony with England shares
In Protestant Sophia's heirs
How all the bells will ring, the oannons roar!
And they who never saw Prince before,
Oh, wont they feast him and csress him!
Waylay him, and address him,
His Royal Highness-bless him.
Their demonstrations possibly may bore.
They'll make, no doubt, greater fuss
Than what is usually made by US
In some Of our remoter parts,
Where country Corporations see,
For the first time, Her Majesty
MAY she be destined long to reign)
When by her Parliament set free,
ohe travels by ast0pplnS Train,
Britannia's trump. the Queen of Hearts.
But still more pressing ceremony waits
The Prince in the United States;
What mobs viii! his hotel besst
sight of him in hopes to get!
What multitudes demand.
TO shake him by the hand!
Hosts of reporters will his footsteps dog,
(As Baron Renfrew though he goes incog)
Take down his every word,
Describe bis mouth and nose,
And eyes, and hair, and clothes,
With . minutenesS quite absurd.
Ye free and easy citizens, be not rude,
Disturb not our young Princes rest;
Upon his morning toilet don't intrude;
Wait till he's drest, .i
Oh! will that Yankee not he blest
To whom the son of England's Queen shall say
"Out of the way?"
And, oh-to touch tender theme
How will the fair around him throng,
And try, forgetting all their shyness,
To salute his Royal Highness,
The realization OF happy dream!
The force ofloveliness isl strong.
A sparks spark, and tinder, tindsr,
And certain things in Heaven are written;
And is there any cause to hinder
The Prince of Wales from being smitten!
Transcendent charms drive even monarchs
frantic,
German Princess must he marry?
And who can say he may not carry
One of Columbia's fascinating daughters,
Ger the Atlantic?
Truth many a one might force to owa,
Hopes that to her the kerchief may be flung
10 the ultimate exaltation Of young
American lady to the British throne.
