And sauce, they stood like posts;

Oh, prudent folks, for fear of hoax,

Put no belief in Ghosts!

[THE DUEL.]

A SERIOUS BALLAD.

"Like the two Kings of Brentford smelling at one nosegay."

In Brentford town, of old renown,

There lived a Mister Bray,

Who fell in love with Lucy Bell,

And so did Mr. Clay.
