I POETRY. 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.
