"SUCH A DAWG!"

The enclosed was cut from _The Field_ of last week:--

R. ---- ---- WANTS some friend to give him a small BULLDOG
with a smile, for a house pet.--To be sent for inspection to,
&c.

Prate not about Fame! I've addressed half the world,
In Court and in cottage, in Castle and slum!

Nay, listen, and you my correctness will own:
'Tis I wrote the _words_ of a Popular Song!
