In the pictures from Walther Scott, never a fault there's got,
Sure the marble's as natural as thrue Scaglio;

And the Chamber Pompayen is sweet to take tay in,
And ait butther'd muffins in sweet Pimlico.

There's landscapes by Gruner, both solar and lunar,
Them two little Doyles, too, deserve a bravo;

Wid de piece by young Townsend, (for janius abounds in't ;)
And that's why he's shuited to paint Pimlico.

That picture of Severn's is worthy of rever❜nce,
But some I won't mintion is rather so so;
For sweet philosophy, or crumpets and coffee,
O where's a Pavilion like sweet Pimlico ?

O to praise this Pavilion would puzzle Quintilian,
Daymosthenes, Brougham, or young Cicero ;
So heavenly Goddess d'ye, pardon my modesty,
And silence my lyre! about sweet Pimlico.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

WITH ganial foire

Thransfuse me loyre,

Ye sacred nympths of Pindus,
The whoile I sing

That wondthrous thing,

The Palace made o' windows!

Say, Paxton, truth,

Thou wondthrous youth, What sthroke of art celistial, What power was lint

You to invint

This combineetion cristial.

O would before

That Thomas Moore, Likewoise the late Lord Boyron, Thim aigles sthrong

Of godlike song,

Cast oi on that cast oiron!

And saw thim walls,

And glittering halls,

Thim rising slendther columns,

[blocks in formation]

Here come likewise

Her bould allies,

Both Asian and Europian;

From East and West

They send their best
To fill her Coornucopean.

I seen (thank Grace!)
This wondthrous place
(His Noble Honour Misther
H. Cole it was

That gave the pass,

And let me see what is there).

With conscious proide

I stud insoide

And look'd the World's Great Fair in,

Until me sight

Was dazzled quite,

And couldn't see for staring.

There's holy saints

And window paints,
By Maydiayval Pugin;
Alhamborough Jones
Did paint the tones
Of yellow and gambouge in.

There's fountains there

And crosses fair;

There's water-gods with urrns;

There's organs three,

To play, d'ye see,

"God save the Queen," by turrns.

There's Statues bright

Of marble white,

Of silver, and of copper;
