Sir Gerald Portal.
Of Afric's districts C. and E.,
'Tis clear to any mortal,
We've but to keep our Afric key,
And enter by our Portal.
The following mysterious advertisement is cut from the Grantham Journal:—
WANTED, to Purchase, a HALF-LEGGED Horse, five years old, suitable for Building work, about 16 hands.—Address, &c.
Is the horse to have two legs? Not on all fours with nature? And the sixteen hands? Compensation for want of legs? Give it up!
