PRO PR iUM TRibTUM. _, « A lav op Akcient Rome. When Greycuss fell and Hallus Jonni ruled supreme m Rome, The Proud patricians raised a shout that rent the azure dome ; The Horn-blowers strained their lungs and blew from shore to shore } The Pontiffs blessed the victors then, and watched the Au»ur3 bore j .Great Aridrewmachus gave, a sigh and bowed hira m tbe dust, And Sbeehi Cabbi Ridsius, I ween went on the bust ; And Jaisee ' Ruseett Whippius m sorrow bent his bead, "Rattius Timberius, unto the foemen fled. . And out spake Atkinsomas : — (surname the Croakei) We Have sent our ships across the main, ou vassils o'er the sea ; Oh Romans ! we have hardly ever been so short of tin, Since our brave eire? went on the square, and took each Sabine gin ; We've sent afar for sugar, but oh ! alas, alas ! Poor Rome is fallen down indeed, she' cries aloud for brass ; .Though Juliu9 Sees-her m the dust, and hears bur count ry groan 5 Se does not jews to ask his Unfcs to leave our land a loan ; He is our Agent-General — a gent whom we ' deapise In G-enei-al—- Oh, Tiber ! bid the stones of Rome arise In mutiny and wild despair. Ye gods ; — butnever mind. I've hit upon a splendid plan to try and raise the wind. False Greycuss tax'd each hide of land, but J. will r.ax fees id c Each .base Plebeian, neck and crop, and all that's onhis hide. Tbe PleV* must pay the ases, for the asses rule the Plebs ; We'll tax their wits, their wines, theirwork, their woollens aneftheir webs ; Their sheets, their shirts, their stockings, their hogs, their bats, their hose ; Their books, their boots, their blunt their hulls, their breeches aud their broaej Their duck? and drakes, their dogs and doors, their donkeys and their dolls ; Their cuffs and collars, and their coats, and all their f 01-de-rolls j Their steaks aud stews, their crusts and -, cakes, their livers, lights, and lives ; Their spades and spoons ; they'll also have tdfork out for their knives ; Pins, pannikins, and pretty pads, improvers too, must pay, . And all the little nick-nacks that the ladies stow away : . Soft soap, and soda, starch and stoves, sticks, stories, suds and slops ; Dear little popsy^wopsy's sweets, and . Johnny's penny tops. On all Plebeians' property a tribute we shall claim ; Wo'll tax all sorts of articles and things we dare not name. Our Censors will inspect each place, each pannikin and pot — The sent, sir, they will get may help the sense, sir, they have got. Ob, citizens ! Oh-,'*B6mans ! just wait a little while — "Proud Pompey's pillar pales before this politician's^ji'"e; I am my country's saviour — the Plebs may laugh and jeer, But I and my Patricians shall be rulerß here. "' '"Hear, hear!" Responded the Comiti-a Tributa ; this they said, And then the noble Senator fled home and went to bed. FRANK FUDGE.
