Chafle Diana! watch my treasure; Guard her beauty from alarms : Let no Satyr’s brutal pleasure, Dare invade her blooming charms# I, thy Soldier* mud away ; Then adieu! thou lovely fair; Should’ft thou wake, and bid me flay, Courage would difiblve to air. A DUBLIN ANECDOTE. DURING the late difturbancesin Ireland, a Judice, charging a company of sol diers with rcmiflhefs in their duty, upon their excusing themselves from firing upon a party of the rioters, under pretence that some wo men and children were among them, repeat ed in his orders, that in future, whenever three living creatures were seen together, they diould be treated as rioters, and fired upon accordingly. Some of the company, it seems, for fafety, were quartered in his Wor ship*B house, and, upon the emergency of the occasion, were to lie in a large lumber room on the fame floor with his Worfhip’s chamber; this, not being opened a conside rable time before, swarmed with fleas in such a manner that the men could not sleep. They had underflood, from a charge given them by the servants, his Worfhip’s partiality for a" • morning’s nap, and thought that an intrusion upon that would be a kind of a compenfatiou for the badness of their lodging. In pursu ance of this idea, at daylight, a general dis charge ot their pieces was agreed upon.— The report so alarmed the Judice, that, run ning out of lain chamber, and not finding an attack had been made by the enemy, he angri ly infilled upon knowing the reason of their firing, Sec. without his orders. ** Did not your Worthip (fays the ferjeant) order usto fire at any three living creatures met together at one time ?” “ Yes,” was the aufwer. ** Then, by Jafus {continued he) we have been pedered all night by above three thou sand of them, and if your Worthip will be pleased to barricade the chamber door, all that we have not killed may be made pri soners ! ’ This hint was taken, the room cleared and aired the fame day, and all the soldiers in the town properly accommodated during their flay.
