POLITICAL POEMS. 



In " N. & Q." (Vol. xi., p. 104.), a curious poem 

 is published, said to have been copied from an old 

 MS. formerly in tlie possession of one of the ca- 

 thedral dignitaries. I now send you two more of 

 these poems from the same source, and in the same 

 handwriting. Tliey refer to the political events 

 of the period at which they were written, and may 

 prove interesting to some of the readers of "N. 

 & Q." If you can find a place for them in an 

 early number, I shall feel obliged. Ima.

"THE KRITISH EMBASSADRESS TO TIIK FRENCH KIXG. 



" ' Hail, tricking monarch ! more successful far 

 In arts of peace then glorious deeds of war: 



As A 's great Embassadress I come, 



With news that will rejoyce both j^ou and Rome. 

 Ne'er did the French affairs so gaily smile 

 These hundred years, as now in Brittish Isle. 

 For there the spirit of blind delusion reigns, 

 And sjireads its fury o'er the stupid swaines ; 



The L ds, the C *=, and the priests conspire 



To raise your power and their own ruin higher : 



Naj', ev'n the Q n, with qualms of conscience prest. 



Seems to advance y cause above the rest ;
