Anon Night comes, and with her wings brings things

Such as, with his poetic tongue, Young sung;
The gas upblazes with its bright white light,
And paralytic watchmen prowl, howl, growl
About the streets, and take up Pall-Mall Sal,
Who, hasting to her nightly jobs, robs fobs.

Now thieves to enter for your cash, smash, crash,
Past drowsy Charley, in a deep sleep, creep,
But, frightened by Policeman B. 3, flee,
And while they're going, whisper low, "No go!"

Now puss, when folks are in their beds, treads leads,

And sleepers, waking, grumble, "Drat that cat!" Who in the gutter caterwauls, squalls, mauls Some feline foe, and screams in shrill ill-will.

Now Bulls of Bashan, of a prize size, rise
In childish dreams, and with a roar gore poor
Georgy, or Charley, or Billy, willy-nilly;
But Nursemaid in a nightmare rest, chest-pressed,
Dreameth of one of her old flames, James Games,
And that she hears what faith is man's!

Ann's banns

And his, from Reverend Mr. Rice, twice, thrice; White ribbons flourish, and a stout shout out, That upward goes, shows Rose knows those bows'

SNEEZING.

WHAT a moment, what a doubt!
All my nose is inside out,
All my thrilling, tickling caustic,

Wants to sneeze and cannot do it! How it yearns me, thrills me, stings me,

While the neoter still reddens our cups as they How with rapturous torment wrings me!

LEIGH HUNT,

KNOWS he that never took a pinch,
Nosey, the pleasure thence which flows?
Knows he the titillating joys

Which my nose knows?

O nose, I am as proud of thee

As any mountain of its snows;
I gaze on thee, and feel that pride
A Roman knows!
