HON. THOMAS DICK.
Behold the new Petronius of the day ! The arbiter of pleasure and of play — Who shuns, with pious Presbyterian hate, The dramas that are called legitimate ; But when blonde wenches in a pirouette danced, Enjoyed the spectacle like one entranced : Grazed on their legs with sternly critic eye, A martyr to his zeal for our morali-ty.
