MR. PUNCH'S HISTORICAL PARALLELS. No. 2.
THE LORDLY CECIL ENTERTAINS HIS SOVEREIGN. HATFIELD, 1573 AND 1887.
A Pretty Plate to Set Before the Queen.
"The Queen's Plates are henceforth to be devoted to improving the breed of horses."
A most wise change that sense for long has wished,
But, Phœbus! how the "Platers" will be dished!
