THE CHINESE DINNER-
A fact winch occuired during
i oru lViacarttte3’s Embassy to
China.
Po< t Folio.
The feast prepar’d, the splendour
round
Allow’d the eye no rest;
The wealth of “Ormusand the
I ud”
Appeared to greet the guest.
No idle tongue, no converse light,
The solemn silence broke,
Because,’its fam'd, our English
man
No word of Chinese spoke!
Now here, now there, he pick’d
a bit
Os what lie conld not name,
And all lie ktlew tv,. that, iii lact,
They made turn kk the same.
Chino t.au, his host, prms’d on
cii disc,
With p.dish’d Chinese grace,
And elicit Chino timugln. he le
lisli’d : iciii
At every ugiy face.
At last he swore he’d eat no mm. e,
(’Twas written in his looks!)
“ For zounds,” he said. “ the De
vil here •
“ Sends both the meat and
cooks!”
But, covets chang’d he brighten’d
up,
And thought himself iti luck,
When close before him, what he
saw,
Seem’d something like a duck.
Still cautious grown, and to be
SUl'ifa
Ilis set to rack;
At length nfmjrn’d to one behind,
And, pointing, cried, lt Quack,
quack 1 /”
The Chinese gravely shook his
head,
Next m<. e arev’rent bow,
And then express’d what dish it
was.
By uti’ring, “ Bow, wow, wow!

The celebrated Michael

his enemy, and placed him a
mong the damned luffermg

tire had its efFetl. It was the
topic of general admiration Sc
merriment. The cardinal,
Hung with the bitterness of the
caricature, complained to Ins
holiness. Pope Leo was too
much a lover oi the line arts
to gratify the cardinal’s ('elite,
arid he therefote told him, that j
