drest in little brief authority" need to have
and practically exemplifed. Their
Ould be dozen impeachments where there
one; and there must be more than there
I'VE been if we are ever TO have pure, i'm

Tom Moore, in his Fables for the Holy
Alliance" exhibits the good effects of such {
'Ocess in a pleasant narration that may bC
sw to some of our younger Teaders-So w
lote it. 1t is entitled
THE LITTLE GRAND LAMA:
FABLE.
In Thibet once there reign'd, we 'ro told,
A little Lama, one year old
Raised to the throne, that realm to bless.
just when his little Holiness
Had cut-as near as can be reckOnd-
Some say his first tooth, some his second.
ChrOnOOgers and verses vary,
Which proves historians should be wary
We only know the important truth
His Majesty had cut tooth.
And much his subjects were enchanted,
As well as Lamas' subjects may be-,
Aud would have given their heads, If wanted,
To make tee-tOtums for the baby.
As he was there by Right Divine
What lawyers call Jue DirlRO,
Meaning right to yours. and mlne.
And every bOdy's goods and rhinO)-
We're ready with their aids and succOr9-
Nothing was seen but pensiOn'd nurses,
And tho land groand with bibs and fuckers.
Oh! had there been Hume or Bennett
Then sitting in the 1hlbet Senate,
le gods, what room for long debates
Upon the Nursery Estimates
What cutting down of swaddlingclothe3
And pin-a-fOres in nightly battles
What calls for papers To expose
The waste Of sugar-plums and rattlcsl
But nO-if Ihibet had NJ. PS,
They were far better bred than these
Nor gave the slightest opposition
During the MOnarch's whole dentltion.
But short this calm; for. just when he
Had reachd the alarming age OF three,
When royal naturcs-and, no doubt
Those of all noble beasls-break out,
The Lama. who till then was quiet
ShOwd symptoms of u taste for riot;
And ripe for mischief early late,
Without regard for Church or StaIe,
Made free with whOSOeer came high
Tweak'd the Lord Chancellor by the nose,
Turn'd all the Judges wigs awry,
And trOd on the old Generals toes
Pclted the Bishops with hot buns.
Rode cock.hO on the City maces,
And shot. from little deyilish guns.
Hard peas into his subjects faces.
In short such wicked pranks he playd.
And grew so mschieyoBs God bless himD
That his chief Nurse-thOuRh with the aid
OF an Archbishop-was afraid
When in these moods, TO comb or dress him;
And even the persons most inclined
For Kings, through thick and thin, TO sickle,
Thought him If they ID but speak their mind,
Which they did NOT an odious pickle
At length. some patriot lords--a breed
OF animals they have in Thibet,
Extremely rare, and fit, indeed
For folks like PidcOcl to exhibit
Some patriot lords. seeing the length
To which things went, combined their strength,
And penn'd manly, plain and free
RcmOnStrancc To the Nursery:
In which. protesting that they yielded
To none that ever went before EN-
In loyalty tO him who welded
The hereditary pap-spO0n DER EN-
That, rs for treason { was thing
That made them almost sick to think Of
That they and theirs stood by the King
Throughout bis measles and his chin-cOugh,
When others, thinking him cOnsumptiye,
Had rated to the Her Presumptye,
But. still-th0ugh much admiring Kings
And chiefly those in leading -strings)-
They saw, with shame and grief of soul,
There was no longer now the wise
And constitutional control
OF birch before their rulers eyes:
But that, of late. such pranks. and tricks.
And freaks. 0Ccurrd the whole day long,
AS all, but men with bishOprcs,
Allow'd, even in a King, were wrong
Wherefore it was they humbly pTay'd
That Honorable Nursery.
That such reforms be henoeforth made,
AS all good men desired to see;-
In other words llest they might seem
Too tedi0usl as the gcntlest scheme
For putting all such pranks to rest.
And III its bud the mischief nippng-
They yentured humbly TO suggest
His Majesty should have whipping!
When this was read-no Congreye rocket
Discharged into the GallC trenches,
Fer equal'd the tremendous shock it
Produced upon the Nursery Benches
The Bishops, who of course had votes
BY right of age and petticOats,
Were first and foremost i'll the fuss
What whip Lama suffer birch
To touch his sacred - infamous!
Deistical !-assailing thus
The fundamentals of the Church
No-no-such patriot plans as these
$50 help them Heaven-and their sees
They held to be rank blasphemies"
The alarm thus given. by these and other
Grave ladies of the Nursery side,
Spread through the land, till such pother
Such party squabbles. far and wide,
Never in histOry's page had been
Recorded, rs were then between
The Whlppers and NOn-whipperS seen.
Till, things arriving at n state
Which gave some fears of revolution
The patriot lords advice, though late.
Was put at last in execution.
Ihe Parliament Of Thibet met
The little Lama, calld before it,
Dld, then and there, his whipping get;
Ana las the Nursery Gazette
Assures usl like hero bore It,
And though mong Thbet Tories somo
Lament that Royal Martyrdom
please to observe, the letter ID
In this last word s pronounced like Bl.
Yet to the example of that Prince
SO much il Thibct's land n debtor,
Ils said, her little Lamas since
Have all behaved themselves much better.
