BOROUGH OF WELLINGTON. T’wus said by them of olden time, A Saint felt rather queerish, And wading out beyond his depth, Cried, Master, Save—l perish. But mints, like other men, may do Some very silly things; And “ hedges, it is said, have cars,” Also some birds with wings. Now, Borough, of what sex thou art ? I really cannot tell; No more than see tha,t 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,” Ami more of the like spice ; But, last of all, a dreadful throe, Brought forth not mouse, but mice. Ye senseless, purscless 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 i iglit, you next may join In law or public fraud. Then send for beaky Geordie Wfetc, He’l' come without a summons ; Caress him—kick him not, I pray, As they did from the Commons. Some men who fall perfidiously, Arc sent to hulks, they say ; Some rather to New Zealand run, Than go to Bot’ny Bay. Then, ablermen, who value such As come, and arc not sent hence, Make Geordie White town-clerk, and then We’re sure of “ independence.” NUMBER ONE Ilawkestone Street, Sept. 12, 1842. * In a late placard the Borough becomes plural.
