THE SONG OF THE LIBERATED.

Air — " The Groves of Blarney."

" Och ! sons of praties—I know how great is

Your joy to see me resume my sate ;
Did Dan not tell yez—ye loyal-rebellious,
He'd bother Justice and bilk the State ;

Such pleasant quarters they gave us "martyrs,"

That some of my friends felt inclin'd to stay,
Else 'twas not in natur, that a Liberator
So long should dwell under lock and kay,

I knew 'twas in yez—to find the " sinews
Of war,"—so long as in "quod'' I'd lie,
And Daniel junior, he, in matters pecuniary
Is almost as taking and 'cute as I.

And thus relyin', on him and O'Brien,

At Richmond long I could love to stay,
Wid princely diet, and peace and quiet,
And " sympathisers " and extra pay.

A monster meeting—ye '11 be entreating,
To yell in pride, through an idle day,
But I'll make a " preachment,'' about " impeachment,"
And turn your heads on a smoother way.

Yez must not jostle your great apostle,

Wid ill-timed shoves, to the battle's van,
But wide mouths opening, wid closed eyes groping,
Let white " thirteens " show your faith in Daji,

PROFESSIONAL PASTORAL FOR THE LONG VACATION. I'm " agitator," "regenerator,'

Sib Sergeant Tittrus—in rural ease,
Forgetting all the cares of Common Pleas,
Taking beneath some shady beech his
station,

To sip the honey of the long vacation.
Ye nymphs beware should Tityrus seek

your grove,
For his "attachment" is no name for love.
The gentle lamblings cluster idly round,
Lured by his legal pipe's too dulcet sound.
Ah ! little do ye think, ye simple sheep,
(Or at a greater distance ye would keep,)

" Moral creator," " young Ireland's dad,"

That he whose plaintive strains ye floe 0n the nation's nose I've a hold far greater

to hear, Than ever sceptred monarch had.
Knows not a greater pleasure than to

shear. Mind my instructions, let's have no "ructions,'

Viewing your curling fleece, it o'er hin But oil your " twigs " wid a peaceful mien,
