My Lord Tomnoddy got up one day ; It was half ufter two, He had nothing to do, So his lordahid rang for his cabrio'.-t TirrcrTun Was clean of limb, His boots were polsh'd, hi jacket was trim : With a very smart cravu , And a smart cockade on the lop of his hat; Tallest of boys, or shortest of men, He stood in his stockings just four feet ten ; And he ask'd, as he held the door on the swing, " Pray did your lordship please to ring V My Lord Tomnoddy ha raised his head, And thus to Tiger Tim he said, Mai ibran's dead, Duven ay's fled, Tagiior.i has not arriv'd in her stead ; Tiger Tim, come tell me true, VV ha; may a nobleman find to dol" Tim looked up, and Tim look'd down, He paus'd, aiid put on a thoughtful frown, And he held u'p his hat, hnd peep'd in the crown, He bit his lip, and he scratched his head, He lei go the handle, and thus he said, As the door, releas'd, behind him bang'd, " An't please you, my lord, there's a man to be : hsng'd!"

The sheriffs arrive, And the crowd is so great that the street seems alive; But Sir Carnaby Jenks Blinks and winks, A candle burns down in the socket, and slinks. Lieutenant Trejootc Is dreaming of Jews, And acceptances of the bill-broken refuse; My Lord Tomnoddy Das drunk all his toddy, And just as the dawn is beginning to peep, The whole of the party are fast asleep. Sweetly, oh! sweetly, the mornin breaks, With roseate streaks, . Like the first faint b'ush on a maiden cheeks; SeeraM as that mild and clear blue sky Smil'd upon all things far nnd nih, All save the wrelch condemned to die ! A lack i that ever so fair a sun As that which its course has now be run. Should ris on such scenes of misery ! Should gild with rays so light and free That dismal, dark-frowning gallows treel And hark ! a sound comes big with fate, many.

It should be remarked that our lan guage at present contains, in many in lances, two seis of words which signify the same things.
