ADVERTISE M E N T, BOROUGH OP WELLINGTON, T’was said by them of olden time, . A Saint rather queerish, ™And wading out beyond his depth, Cried, Master, Save—l perish. But saints, like other men, may do Some very silly things; And “ hedges, it is said, have ears,” Also some birds with wings. Now, Borough, of what sex thou art ? ■ I really cannot tell; No more than see that saintly thing That stalks behind yon Hill. It seems that thou art prolific, And brought forth three, or many*— • A banished clerk, a jackanapes, Also a lawyar’s zany. . So I will tell a fusty tale, • To please my witty neighbour ; About a Hill, or mountain, once, So sadly sick in labour ; That, groaning, it threw “ mud and mire,” And more of the like spice; But, last of all, a dreadful throe, Brought forth not mouse, but mice. Ye senseless, purseless lawyers, ye Who want to mend your station, Mind, wedding land-sharks, daughters, is A kapi speculation. First, round the daughter, you must creep, And then the mother laud; When all is right, you next may join In law or public fraud. Then send for beaky Geordie White, He’ll come without a summons; Caress him —kick him not, I pray, As they did from the Commons. Some men who fall perfidiously, Are sent to hulks, they say; Some rather to New Zealand run, Than go to Bot’ny Bay. Then, aldermen, who value such As come, and are not sent hence, Make Geordie White town-clerk, and then We’re sure of “ independence.” NUMBER ONE Hawkestone Street, Sept. 12, 1842. * In a late placard the Borough becomes plural.
