acclamations of the people. It was dark before the busines of this day concluded. A Lesson to be learnt by those who are compelled to beg Votes for the Right Hon. R. B. Sheridan. PRAY, Gentlemen, give your Vote to Mr. Sheridan! Mr. Sheridan is sorry you have found him out-in making a present of you, to the House of Northumberland. Mr. S. is sorry his Jew's tricks with the Duke has been discovered. Mr. S. begs you will not remember he refused your nomination at the Crown and Anchor. Mr. S. begs you to forget he "could not desert his old and worthy Constituents of Staf ford." Mr. S. begs you to believe he forgot-all he had formerly said against the Income Tax, being Five per Cent. when he voted to make it Mr. S. begs you to believe, that the giving Six Mr. S. begs you to believe, that he had your interest most sincerely at heart when he voted that the King's private property in the. Funds should not be liable to the Income Tax. Mr. S. begs you to remember, that Parliament is to him what a Cathedral used to be to men who had in former times violated the laws. Mr. S. implores you not to consign him to his merciless creditors, who, he fears, would unanimously return him to a large stone building, not called the House of Commons, but which is, nevertheless, a very Common House. Mr. S. promises, that if you will grant him the Sanctuary, for Seven Years, which he so ardently wishes, he will not care a dump for you, nor be any thing, as he himself observes, "but what he has been." IN THE PRESS, And speedily will be published, Of a celebrated and often-performed PLAY, call'd, With considerable Additions, Commentaries, Annotations, and Illustrations, New, Wonderful Ingenious, and Surprising; By that most admirable PLAYWRIGHT AND SHIFTER, RICHARD BRINSLEY SHERIDAN, Pensioner of 4000l. a Year, &c. &c. &c. Drawn from the Vitals of the Industrious Who are the Supporters of Mr. Sheridan? Cripplegate, a desperate Gambler, who, having cheated every Body else, now wishes to cheat you. Newgate, the hopeful Brother of Cripplegate, a Divine, Electioneering Jobber, who would rather rightly regulate other Men's Conduct than his own. A late Jacobin Printer, who was pillory'd, in Dublin, for Sedition; and now Reports for Perry's Apostate Chronicle!! A Sheriff's Broker and Officer, who threatens to sieze the Beds of those honest People who refuse to Vote for him. Cribb, Mellish, Cody, Petersham, Britten, O'Donnell, Craven, and Ryan-hired Bruisers. All the Muck-worms and Blood-suckers who live upon the Industry of the POOR! THE COMPARISON. A NEW SONG. 1. COME, listen a moment, Electors, I pray ;- Derry down. 2. First of all, on the Hustings, a Hero behold, 3. The next, you all know, is the staunch Friend of Man, 4. But who is that odd little fellow beyond, Who looks like a pickpocket dragg'd to a pond? 'Tis a candidate too, whose pretensions must fall, Since his nonsense, my friends, all your stomachs must PALL. 5. To talk of his measures would smell of the trade; So-so are the speeches he buys ready-made; And so cruel aboard, that, take this as a hint, With the Soul of a dung, he's the heart of a flint. 6. Not one who is near me would give him a Vote; But you'll make him sheer off, as he looks, like a goose. 7. Compare then and judge, you'll have nought to regret, 8. Then all fill your glasses high, sparkling with wine, A WEST A WESTMINSTER SONG. Tune-Mrs. Arne, Mrs. Arne—or, My Dog and my Gun-os, Derry Down. Lord Grenny, proud Grenny, Holds places so many, He King, Lords, and Commons, derides: Never enters his head, So be butters his own on both sides : So he butters his own on both sides. 3. Then Temple, Lord Temple, His means are so ample, By all nimming Neddies is courted; He's chuckling and thriving; And though still in Hampshire-transported, And though still in Hampshire-transported. 4. Doctor Sid, Doctor Sid, You must do as you're bid; You must sweeten each pill and each potion; Near Richmond Park-wall, Grenville's purse will soon give you a motion, Doctor Sid; Grenville's Purse will soon give you a motion. |
