A SONG OF SYMPATHY.
(Some Way after a celebrated Boating Song.)
["Sir HENRY PARKES concluded by declaring that if the Colonies continued separate they must become hostile communities, and, in order that they might prevent that, it was for the whole people to join in creating one great Union Government."—REUTER.]
Mr. LEO BRITANNICUS, an Old Blue, and a sympathetic on-looker, loquitur:—
Capital boating weather!
Ay, and a favouring breeze!
Oars upon the feather!
Sun of the Southern Seas!
Brave boys! Swing together,
Your bodies between your knees!
