A Ministerial Lay.
Thehon. Major Atkinson to the hon. William Rolleston. Wink at me, Roily, with thine eye, And I will wink with mine ; Go, tell the good old ancient lie, That's served full many a time. To face the swindled fanners'jeries, Doth need a cheek sublime"; But, thongh my impudence I prize, It matches not with thine. I wisli thee safely through the fray, Yet somewhat fear to see, Despite thy sweet and simply lay, They'll tar and feather thee ! But, if no feathers deck thy skin, No eggs thall pelt thee sore, Come back, and we'll divide the tin, And tax the fools once more. — Christchurch Star.
