"WHITAKER."
[Mr. Joseph Whitaker, founder and chief proprietor of Whitaker's Almanack, died on the 15th May, aged 75.]
Gone! His praises to rehearse
Might engage a friendly verse.
Time, for whom he did so much,
Surely dealt with gentle touch
With this man, of lucky star,
Who the famous calendar,
Schemed on an ingenious plan,
Gave to ever-grateful man.
