" My Britons shall conquer, no nation shall brag ; " With forces inferior, " They've courage superior, " And Vicfry shall rest on Britannia's proud flag." XLV. — THE RHYME-SMITH'S ANNUAL VERSES. Pbbsektbd to the Pabohsd-Pbas Club or Pbbstok, A.D. 1808. I'm aware you'll expect that myself I excuse For invoking so late in the season my Muse, But the truth is, I call'd her and calFd her again. Yet my first invocations I found were in vain. She said that in Scotland a job she had got — A job most c...ongenial — to help Mr. Scott ; Though to him at the first she was shy, yet quite frisky When he'd given her a bottle of excellent whisky. POETICAL SPECIMENS. 101 She next was invokM to the Laureate's abode. Who beg^d her best aid in his annual ode. But she gaye herself airs, was pert, pouting and shy. And calFd him dunce, blockhead, nay, simple ^oo«e-pie ; But soon he becalmed the abuse of the slut When he brought into view and then opened his buit ; She swillM down a bottle — the Muse is not slack, And declared it a butt of superlative sack; Then she vented the lines with much labour and sweat.
