ENTÊTEMENT BRITANNIQUE.

Mal à la tête, ennui, migraine,

We risk in trying to explain

Why, though the Income-tax is high,

This country never can supply

Such galleries as line the Seine.

Yet gifts are treated with disdain,

Which gives the would-be donors pain,—

We've now a name to call that by,

"Mal à la TATE."

Next time an offer's made in vain

MACNEILL, or someone, will obtain,

Or ask, at least, the reason why,

And even dumber folks will cry,

"By Jove! they've made a mull again,

MULL à la TATE!"
