"Yet shall not Scots or Scotland say
Bnt I will vengeance take;
I'll be revengi!d on them all,
For brave Earl Percy's sake.''

This vow fall well the king perfonn'd
After at Humbledown;
In one day fifty k.nigbta were slain,
With lords of high renown:

Anll of the' rest, or 11wall account,
Did many hundreds die;
Thue endeth the hunting of Ohe'fY-ChMe,
Made by the Earl Percy,

God save the king, and bless this land,
With plenty, joy, and peace ;
And grant, henceforth, that foul debate
'Twixt noblemen may cease.

BUT yesterday a. naked sod,
The dandies sueer'd from Rotten R ow,
And canter'd o'er it to and fro ;

    As though 'twere by a wiza-rd's rod
    A blazing arch of lucid g1&88
    Leapslilie a fountain from the gT'I\$8
    To meet the son I


A auiet green but few days since,
WiU! cattle browsing in the shA.de,
.And here &l'e lines of bright arcade
In order raised l
A pl\l&.ee as for faity Prince,
A raTe pavilion 1 such as man
Saw never, since mankind began
And bnilt and glazed!
