1831.] Advertisements Extraordinary ! 18d 



Character is more than spotless. 



Does not mind the dirtj' work ; 

 Thinks (with candour) that he's not less 



Than a Chatham or a Burke. 

 Begs to recommend his cousin. 



Several — who have not succeeded ; 

 Knows (with candour) there's a dozen 



Who would do — whatever he did. 



Wanted — by a noble lordling 



(Able to translate with ease). 

 Poems and romances maudlin, 



Irish, German, or Chinese. 

 Idly now his lordship's lute hangs ; 



Every subject seems so silly. 

 Since his friends, the Orang-Outangs, 



Have retired from Piccadilly. 



Wanted — ^by a c\tw Member, 



Some new ministerial stay. 

 To sustain him, when each ember 



Of his strength has burnt away. 

 Nightcaps and narcotics now 



Are at discount in the city ; 

 Since the times no nap allow 



When the House is in committee. 



Wanted — by the Oxford bard — 



Late upset, though first of leaders. 

 By a friend, who drove too hard — 



Just a few admiring readers. 

 To a score the number's stinted. 



Sworn to praise his measures pearly ; 

 Twelve are wanting — it is hinted 



Applications should be early. 



Wanted — for reforming uses. 



Aiding ministerial steerage. 

 Twenty haters of abuses — 



Raw material for the peerage. 

 Wanted — wit and elocjuencc. 



Both for Goulbourn, prone to stammer ; 

 For the Duke, a dash of sense ; 



And for Hunt — oh ! Cobbett's grammar.
