TO LORD BYRON, &c. &c. &c.

-(By verax.)

BARD! of ungentle wayward mood,
"Tis said of thee when in the lap,
The Nurse to tempt thee to thy food.
Would squeeze a lemon in thy pap.

At vinegar how danc'd thine eyes!

Before thy lips a word could utter:

And oft the dame to hush thy cries,

Strew wormwood on your bread and butter:

Mustard, how strong so'er the sort is,

Could ne'er draw moisture from thine eye;

Not gall, nor even aquafortis,

Could ever set thy face awry!

Thus train'd, a Satirist thy mind,

Soon caught the bitter and the sour;

And all those various pow'rs combin'd,

Produc'd "CHILDE HAROLD" and "THE GIAOUR."

Another Translation from the Irish Bard CAROLAN.

With pleasure I sing of the Maid,

Who in beauty and wit doth excel;

My LETTY the fairest shall lead,

And from beauties shall bear off the Belle.

Her neck to the swan I'll compare,

Her face to the brightness of day,

And is he not blest who shall share,

In the beauties her bosom display?

"Tis thus the fair Maid I commend,

Whose words are than music more sweet:

No bliss can on Woman attend,

But with thee! dear LETITIA we meet.

Your beauties should still be my song,

But my glass I devote now to thee: May the health that I wish thee be long,

And if sick, be it love-sick for me.

How vastly pleasing is my tale, I found my watch at Doneraile. My Dublin watch, my chain & sea, Were all restor'd at Doneraile. May fire and brimstone ever fail, To hurt or injure Doneraile. May neither fiend or foe assail, The gen'rous town of Doneraile. May light'ning never singe the vale, That leads to darling Doneraile. May Pompey's fate at old Pharsale, Be still revers'd at Donerafle. May beef and mutton lamb and veal, Plenty create in Doneraile. May garlic soup or scurvy cale, No palate spoil at Doneraile. May neither frog or creeping shail, Subtract the crops of Doneraile. May Heav'n each chosen bliss entail, On honest, friendly Doneraile. May Sol or Luna never fail, To shine and blaze at Doneraile. May ev'ry soft ambrosial gale, Waft ev'ry bliss to Doneraile. May ev'ry cuckoo, thrush & quail, A consort form at Doneraile. May ev'ry Post, Gazette and Mail, Glad tidings bring to Doneraile. May no harsh thunder ring a peal, To incommode sweet Doneraile. May profit high, and speedy sale, Enlarge the trade of Doneraile. May fame resound a pleasing tale, Of ev'ry joy at Doneraile. May Egypt's plagues for ever fail, To hurt or injure Doneraile. May frost or snow, or sleet or hail, No mischief do at Doneraile. May Oscar with his fiery flail, Thrash all the foes of Doneraile.

May all from Belfast to Kinsale,
Be half so good as Doneraile..
May choicest flour and Oater-meal,
Be still to spare at Doneraile.
May want or woe no joy curtail,
That's always known at Doneraile.
No coffin that grim death may nail,
Can wrap a rogue at Doneraile.
There are no thieves to rob or steal,
Within two leagues of Doneraile.
Sure all the sons of Graniaweal,
May well be proud of Doneraile.
May no dire monster shark or whale,
Annoy or torture Doneraile.
May no disaster e'er assail,
The bliss or peace of Doneraile.
May ev'ry Transport wont to sail
Encrease the wealth of Doneraile.
May ev'ry churn and milking pail,
O'erflow with cream at Doneraile.
May cold or hunger ne'er congeal,
The precious blood of Doneraile.
May ev'ry hour new joys reveal,-
To crown the bliss of Doneraile.
May ev'ry sweet that can regale,
New odours waft to Doneraile.
May no corroding ill prevail,
To damp the joys of Doneraile.
May ev'ry wish and pray'r avail,
To crown the peace of Doneraile.
May th' Inquisition ne'er impale,
Or hurt a limb of Doneraile.
May Sodom's curses ne'er prevail,
To sink or torture Doneraile.

May Charon's Boat for ever sail,

Without a man from Doneraile.

May gallows, gibbet, stocks & gaol,
Appear a wreck at Doneraile.
And may its LADY never fail,
To find new joys at Doneraile,
