THE IDEAL DRAMA.

Oh think what a change would soon be wrought

In sins society now condones,

Were virtue and honesty properly taught

By Comedy's smiles and Tragedy's groans!

The peer, the scholar, the fool, the fop,

Could learn deportment, high-class, tip-top,

From a Dancing Girl in a Bauble Shop

At least so thinks Mr. H. A. Jones.

We shall call it "the work," and not "the play,"
