IMPROMPTU

ON WEDNESDAY’S DEBATE AND SATURDAY’S “ INDEPENDENT.” L- rushes to the Council room, The Doctor growls in print; Their game is up, they’re both aghast, For G has fix’d their flint.” And whether E 's the Doctor’s tool, Or he’s a tool of E 's; Whichever way their cards they play, Pray, who the Devil cares ?

When next you to the Council go, For freedom make a zealous show; Be bitter on the Nominees, Talk any nonsense that you please • Try a left-handed blow to strike, Affect support, and hint dislike. A clever project, I declare; Say, don’t you think so, Mister ? Now go, and learn your speech by heart, Be careful how you act your part; 111 not be backward, in good time My leader with your speech shall chime. My guerdon I expect, you know, Ihe trading patriot’s quid pro quo; , to me mist yield his chair, Mmd, thats a bargain, Mister . What, tho’ I’ve snubb’d you to your face, 01 flagstaffs, epaulettes, and luce, And swore yon had the “funking fever,”* iou now are quite as brave as ever.
