THE INVITATION.
Oh; come to me where Council sits / pray Ihee come to me, I've sent the Government brig to bring Tbee o'er the turb'leiu sea. No Scotchmen nor Cantabs will answer my call, Charm or promise I never so sweetly, I thought to be sure 1 had gammoned them all. But I find I'm mistaken completely. Then come to me, &c. Of all the.Provinei'ls who pledg'd me their troth, And sworevto defy the jftds' trickg,^ One only is true to his colours, forsboiti. Lord Stanley stands by me like bricks. Then come to me, &c. No longer the chamber is trimmed with red, Which gave Members the rude caste of lush; A delicate paper surrounds it indeed, Which will soften the diffident , * blush. Then come to me where Council sits, Or the rads' will be chuckling with glee ; And indeed I'm sore puzzled aud put to my wits For another Nominee. G.G.
