Mil Doctor Dzar, and Mr. Editor, I beg you'll rest my patient cmditor, And wliile I'm your acknowledg'd debitor, Be prompt and civil ! To print thia letter, when you've read it o'er. Command your Devil I 'Tis true, I weaf no laurel crown, My humble muie is all unknown, And yet, perha,)s, I'll stir the Town Ere I have done. And make our Crickets up and down, Run made like fun I Yet ere I dif> my pen to write, I now— lest I beget but spite — Announce that what I may 'ndite. Is but in Trolic, So none on whom a gibe may light Need take the choli*. But without jest, I'd feel much grief, ere Of such I could but bowl as Kgefeb, Who in rignt earnest, —to be briefer. Might prove a whaler And ply a rope's end like a reefer Or main top sailor. And seeing he's our worthy Father— Not our progenitor but rather The fir?t, not to beget,— but gather Our Crickets—match 'em If you can I who ever finds a flaw there The D-^l may catch him. Our Treasurer, too, comes on heroical, Who, thoijsth ill m?od he's s}nnewhat stoical. Bowl's bravely I ho whim you all know I call Squire Thomas Leooat, Who, though his mnvement's somewhat slow, I call, Djcs sjmelimes peg it. And then he has such handsome shanks, And ofi. he plays sime wonderous pranks. For which we owe him ill our thanks, When with wry faces, The laughing Cri':kets quit their rnnku And make grimacca. Behold our President of Cricket Now grasjjs his Bit, and guards his wicket, Prepar'd wilh giant strength to lick it, And sure he'd bat it. But IIervet Bowls ! Oh liad old Nid' it, The Ball is at it. Aye, II^nVEV ! he's our common vice Confiuiid my nuiso, confiund her choice Of W3rd> fjr rhime, tlniv'ro never nice, F )!• ho is VICRLKSS — Vice President ! a trust of price, lliniseir is priceless. Now ha'id the Bit to Godfrky Baker, Who, whiio his loDtJi B it proves a shaker. Will never make a Sp-echlrst Quaker. The Ball conies dancing ; Utuatriout hit I it flips nii aer?. And he runs prancing. Now itteeping like n tempest Boreal, The Bat is sped by Billt Obiei,; Sinil« 1 but my limilo i» lo r«al, It whiiks like thunder, And I would not, for Whig or Tory all. Make any blunder. Now Dawson calls for six about. And sure it makes a pretty route. When pop the Ball comes on his snout, 'Twas sped by Noei.— And blacken'd eyes attest the clout That made him so ill. There's Crosdale too, a midling Batter, 'Twould set him better were he fatter. For then he'd be more snug and squatter Before his wicket, Not as he's now, like in hit water, A flea or cricket. And though he looks more lean and lanker Than Leogatt does,'our worthy Banker, With feet spread out, just like an anchor Set in the gravel. Yet he can step out like a spanker, As fast '8 the D — — L Now Matthew stands before the rdJ, And thrashes at it like a flail ; The Ball comes ! io, he turns bis tail, Alas his r p. Which is his most (I will go bail,) Conspicuous bump^ Speaking of bumps— not geological. But those with brains— it is quite logical To treat of Scott the Phrenological, Who Qt it hammers so ; Oh, L d, get me another 'ogical. This stanza stammers to. O'Brian, too, his coodjutor. Who stands as still as he u'cre neuter. None save his master could stand muter ; Few make such play for 'tj Deuce take this pen its made of pewter, I'll blow up Gray fur 't. Three famous chaps— my muse is painting. While on their merits she's drscanting, Too oft are miss'd— Hammond, gallanting, Walker and Clemow; They, too, also ! too oft are wanting, Oh I what a shame. Oh ! The mountain— no, 'tis Hitt I mean. Say where of late 's (he Doctor been. For on the fleld he 's not been teen, Dry day or rainy, Perhaps he 's at the doath bed scene Of some old granny. Then Doctor pray make haste, despatch her ; For all that yon can mend or patch her. Death soon or late, will surely snatch her; So come away. And to the universal catcher, Give up the day. Now Cricket* all beware and list ye, Bo punctual and I will assist ye ; D>;faullers I will take my fist t'ye ; I'll bo observant. And now I am my good old Christie, Your humble servant, CRICKET. i«.
