DRAMATIC NOTES.
Soma lines from Byron's English BardsD are
not inappropriate Just now, TO depict the present ss
of our theaterS:
Now to the drama turn; Oh motley sight
What precious the wondering eyes delight
Who bu, mns mOura while these all the rage.
The degradation o. ourV Wanted stage
Heavens is all sense Of shame aud talent gone
Have no bardo Of living merritt none =
Shall sapient managers scenes produce
From Cherry ske6ngtOu, and Mother Goose,
While Shakespeare Otway Msssingr. brgst

Well NAV they smile Of ItAlys bufOOss
And worship CsainA's panisloOnsi
Since own drasa yields no fairer trace
OF wit than puBA Of humOr than gnmscs

To soften bat corrupt the heart,
Pour her exotic oles DER the town,
To sanction vice an hunt decOrum down;
Let welded strumpe langush DER Deshaya,
And bles. the promise his form displsysi
While Carton boaaAs before the enraptured lesh
OF fboary marquses and stnplng dukes
Let hgh-bOra lecher the lively i1rese
Twill her light limbs that spurn the needless van;
Let Angiohn her breast Of snow
Wave the wb and point the plant toe;

Strain her fair neck and charm the listening thronGi
