THE EX-QUEEN OP OUDE AT

{From our own Correspondent)

The people cheer the Queen of Oude,
Toe British people always cheer
All sovereigns who come over here..
Why cheer the people Oude's Ex-Queen ?

And six ; she pays the large amount
Of twice six guineas, by the day,

By many a league, the Ex-Quken's ship.
