A FAVOURITE AIR
in the Optra ts Cceur dt Lion .
I HAD a wife of ray own,
Still with her tongue the chatter’d on
iNevcr could let me alone,
Clamper’d, scolded, and clatter’d on:
Blockhead, ass, cuckold and drone,
With these foft words die flatter'd on;
Not in ray body a bone
But with her kuuckles the batter’d on.
Kept me quite under her thumb,
Toft ray hat and wig about,
If I said ought but mum ;
Twirl’d me like a gigg about,,
Making my body a drum ;
. Trivally beating and jigg about,
I was obliged to glum.
Like an old grouting pig about. /
Burlesque on D V E L LING.
ADU EL was lately fouaht at
Ulverfton, (England) between
a young gentleman of the law and a
teacher of youth. The former, who
was fond of this heroic art, had been
a terror to the town for fume time,
as he could not beac any person to
differ with him in opininn, and on
every trifling occasion gave a chal
lenge. At last it was agteed upon,
that on a repetition, it should be ac
cepted. The dispute between the
parties aroie on Sunday evening the
1 ith May (the better day the better
deed) in consequence thereof, this
young learned limb of the law gave
a challenge, which was accepted by
the teachei; teconds fixed the greund
and time appointed for the next
morning’s amusement, which was
lliidtly attendtd to by the parties.
The seconds loaded the piflols; that
of the schoolmaster being only prim
ed, the other loaded with a paper
ball: the distance of ten yards was
marked out when each took their
station. The schoolmaster fired firft,
but only slashed in the pan ; the law
yer then fired, when his antagonist
fell to the ground; being greatly
alarmed and intimidated, he ran up
to the second to enquire if he was
wounded : the answer was yes, and
very dangerously; the lawyer then
said, I cannot (lop, I muff be off:
and immediately took to his heels for
Broughton, where he hired a horse
and proceeded for Workington, in
order to take (hipping for lieland.
It was thought proper to fend a mef
lenger to acquaint him it was all a
hum, and that the fchoo I matter was
very well. The person got very near
him before he reached the town, but
being observed by the young man
who was afraid ot being taken and
carried before a juflicc, put faffer
forwards and reached Workington,
where he enquired for a vessel going
to Ireland, but found none \ the nut
ienger at latt came tip to him with
the infoimation # to ydiich for fomc
limc.he could not giCc credit, how
ever he was persuaded to return, and
as it is natural to suppose the laugh
goes against him. We hope it will
have a good effect and teach him to
behave properly in company, and
prevent him giving any more chal
lenges.
