ORIGINAL POETRY.
THAT DINNER FORGET!
(Dedicated to the B-—H C l. To be sung to the original air, by A. Culvert.) That dinner forget! What, that dinner forget! Though it might p'raps have cost a deal more, Oft, oft shall I think of the caucus that met, That dinner to legislate o'er. When Premier and Fisher had spread their soft wiles, And from Christchurch were brought down this way, How, with speech that allures, and trick that beguiles, Popularity Jack tout-a-fait Won your hearts at that dinner, I ne'er can
forget; But I pity tbe depth of your woe, That twenty-five pounds' worth of prog will lie yet Very heavy wherever you go.
