SIR A. WYLIEJ od zam iliz Mr Odoherty, I beg your pardon, Captain Odoherty! I cr ance for a', that, although my life fill three volumes, and yours b mine does not contain any narrative, either of seeking after a suff midst of a battle, or of marrying the mistress of a chop-house, and escapi soon as the till was sucked-do you take me? DR SCOTT. Life in a mussel! Weel said, Sir Andrew-stick it into him. A foulmouthed creature! Clink down with sic clanjamphray! ODOHERTY. (Showing a lemon cut into a caricature of SIR ANDREW.) Do you know that phiz, Mr Baronet ? SIR A. WYLIE. (Throwing down his card.) Mr Ensign, there's my address,-Good night, Gentlemen. DR SCOTT. (Aside to North.) [Exit SIR A. WYLIE. Od sauf us! How Sir Andrew's staggering! Your last bowl has clean done him! I maun just see him as far as Maclean's; for if he were to be ta'en up to the Police Office, it would never answer-him an Elder, too, ye ken. NORTH. [Exit DR SCOTT. So, Odoherty, we're left almost to ourselves. I think the nature and effects of personality have been decently discussed this evening, however. I hope nothing of what has happened will ever transpire. Pen Owen, I think, is asleep. ODOHERTY. Snoring. But, Lord love ye, I've a short-hand writer behind that screen yonder. Every word is down. 'Twill make a prime article; and you knew it would, else we should not have dined here to-day; but, as LUTTRELL Bays, "O, that there might in England be A duty on Hypocrisy, A tax on Humbug, an excise On solemn plausibilities, A stamp on every man that canted! No millions more, if these were granted, Henceforward would be raised or wanted; But Van, with an o'erflowing chest, Might soon forgive us all the rest."* NORTH. Well, I think the reporter must be dry enough by this time.-Come forth, thou rat i' the arras! You shall have your share of one bowl at the least ;and thou, heir of Cym Owen, rouse thee! rouse thee for the field! Epilogue. [Curtain falls. Spoken by CHRISTOPHER NORTH, Esquire, and Sir A. WYLIE, Baronet. MR NORTH. "Something too much of this!" I hear you cry- SIR A. WYLIE. —or be dumb. MR NORTH. Confess it, Jeffrey, (for you needs must know) See Letters to Julia, second edition, p. 104. By the bye, these elegant letters are much improved in the second edition. The book is now quite a bijou. VOL. XI. 4 I C. N. MR-NORTH. To you, to you, ye Tories of the Land ! veli Not you, ye❝ PLUCKLESS," who, when things look blue, Abandon those who bear the blazing brunt, And fight, ye fools, your battle in your front- Nor fawn for shelter where your crestless eagles droop, Clutch at the trophy, having shirk'd the toil SIR A. WYLIE. -And gloat, while others sweat, on your snug roast and boil! MR NORTH. These are your maxims! Venal vapid crew! Low we may come, but ne'er so low as YOU! SIR A. WYLIE. Loosening a fifth button.] MR NORTH. Or less. While YOU our trumpet hear, and round our banner press. BOTH.
