YOU? I HEARD A THING THE OTHER DAY--," &C., &C., &C.]
* * * * * ANOTHER VICTIM. [The Emperor of AUSTRIA will leave Voecklabruck on September 2 to attend the Army manoeuvres in Silesia. On the 17th he will go to attend the manoeuvres in Prussian Silesia, and will be the German EMPEROR's guest at Schloss Kohnstook, near Liegnitz.--_Times_.] _Imperial Victim sings:_-- "Here awa', there awa', wandering WILLIE." O WILHELM, my lad, _you_ might well sing that song. This stir's getting troublesome, not to say silly, Our "Travelling EMPEROR"'s coming it strong. This playing at Soldiers, is't never to cease? There's no rest but the grave for the Pilgrim of--Peace! _Sub tegmine fagi_, in holiday Autumn, E'en Emperors sometimes incline to take ease, But when once _he_ has dropped in upon 'em, and caught 'em, The Tityrus _rĂ´le_ is all up. 'Tis a tease. I was just settling down to my pipe and my bock, When he bursts in like this! Gives a man quite a shock! He has stirred them up pretty well all round already. Good Grandmother GUELPH! Well, with her, 'twas just "come and off!" |
