What do you think of old Arthur and Bob?

Why I think they're in a mess, for they can't get a job;
May Bobby' sell his trap, and old Nosey2 to the sod.
Oh, how I should laugh if they both went to quod.
What do you think of the new Lord Mayor ?3
Why a short time ago he made thousands to stare,
He kept them from a dinner, oh! he was mighty civil,
And the bellies of the citizens did groan like the devil.
What do you think of the ex-King of France?
Why I think he done well off to Scotland to dance,
When he'd caused a disturbance from the nation he flew,
And his Ministers are in dungeons, singing parlableu.

What do you think of Saint John Long?4

Them that think him a Doctor must be great in the wrong;
From Justice he has flew, and if he does come back,
To the devil they 'll send him, singing quack! quack!
What do you think of bold Captain Swing ?5

I think through the country he has done a wicked thing,
He has caused great destruction in England and France,
If Justice o'ertakes him on nothing he'll dance.

I.—In allusion to the political "Ratting" of the 2nd Sir Robert Peel. 1788-1850.

2.-The late Duke of Wellington. 1769-1852.

3.-Alderman Key, Mayor, 1830. Invitation declined by King William IV.; and the show and inauguration dinner omitted, from apprehension of riot and outrage.

4.-A notorious quack doctor. 1798-1834.

5. A fictitious and much-dreaded name signed to incendiary threats in the rural districts at the time of the introduction of agricultural machinery.

LEX TALIONIS.

As "Swing's" wild justice is to Burn,

It is but to reverse the thing,

And tell the culprit in his turn—

It is ""

Burn's Justice" he should " Swing."

What do you think of bold Henry Hunt?

I think he is a man that will speak his mind blunt,

He is chosen M.P., he is clever and cute,

He will polish up the Commons like a Wellington boot.

What do you think of Ireland's Dan?

I think that O'Connell is a valiant man,

For the Union of Erin he loudly does call,
And he says he is determined to agitate them all.

What do you think of the new Policemen now?
At Union Hall Police Office there has been a row,
One thought to get promoted, oh! wasn't he a flat,
To take a loaded pistol and fire at his hat.

What do you think of the new London Bridge grand,
And of the improvements they are making in the Strand?
Why it will be very handsome, I'm certain and sure,
But the money would look better, feeding the poor.

N Gray's Inn, not long ago,

IN

An old maid lived a life of woe;

She was fifty-three, with a face like tan,
And she fell in love with a dogs'-meat man.
Much she loved this dogs'-meat man,
He was a good-looking dogs'-meat man;
Her roses and lilies were turn'd to tan,
When she fell in love wi' the dogs'-meat man.

Every morning when he went by,

Whether the weather was wet or dry,

And right opposite her door he'd stand,

And cry
'dogs' meat," did this dogs'-meat man.
Then her cat would run out to the dogs'-meat man,
And rub against the barrow of the dogs'-meat man,
As right opposite to her door he'd stand,
And cry "Dogs' Meat," did this dogs'-meat man.

Q

One morn she kept him at the door,
Talking, half-an-hour or more;

For, you must know, that was her plan,

To have a good look at the dogs'-meat man.
"Times are hard," says the dogs'-meat man ;
"Folks get in my debt," says the dogs'-meat man ;
Then he took up his barrow, and away he ran,
And cried "Dogs' Meat," did this dogs'-meat man.

He soon saw which way the cat did jump,
And his company he offered plump;

She couldn't blush, 'cause she'd no fan,

So she sot and grinned at the dogs'-meat man.
"If you'll marry me," says the dogs'-meat man,
"I'll have you,' says the dogs'-meat man ;

For a quartern of peppermint then he ran,

And she drink'd a good health to the dogs'-meat man.

That very evening he was seen,

In a jacket and breeches of velveteen,

To Bagnigge-Wells, then, in a bran

New gown, she went with the dogs'-meat man :
She'd biscuits and ale with the dogs'-meat man,
And walked arm-in-arm with the dogs'-meat man;
And the people all said, what round did stan'
He was quite a dandy dogs'-meat man.

He said his customers, good lord!
Owed him a matter of two pound odd;
And she replied, it was quite scan-
Dalous to cheat such a dogs'-meat man.

"If I had but the money, says the dogs'-meat man,
"I'd open a tripe-shop," says the dogs'-meat man,

"And I'd marry you to-morrow."-She admired his plan, And she lent a five-pound note to the dogs'-meat man.

He pocketed the money and went away,

She waited for him all next day,

But he never com'd; and, then she began

To think she was diddled by the dogs'-meat man ;

She went to seek this dogs'-meat man,

But she couldn't find the dogs'-meat man ;

Some friend gave her to understan'

He'd got a wife and seven children-this dogs'-meat man.

So home she went, with sighs and tears,
As her hopes were all transformed to fears,

And her hungry cat to mew began,

As much as to say,-"Where's the dogs'-meat man?"
She couldn't help thinking of the dogs'-meat man,

The handsome, swindling, dogs'-meat man;

So you see, just in one day's short span,

She lost her heart, a five-pound note, and the dogs'-meat man.
