The following Song, written for the occasion hy Mr. Finn, of 

 the Trcmont Theatre, loas sung by him. 



" Let one great day, 



To celebrated sports and tloral play 

 Be set aside." — Prior. 



This is our Rome, and I 



A Flamen Pomonnlis ; 



V 11 prove in Men's pursuits, 



Some Horticultural is; 



But while [he glass goes round, 



Let not a sucker stray, Sirs ; 



Transported by the xine, 



'T would be our Botany hay, Sirs. 



The Fruits o? Horticulture 

 You '11 find in every shape, Sirs, 

 Our sailors stem the Currant, 

 In battle, /orcc the Grape, Sirs. 

 King George, in olden Thyme, 

 Could not with Spcar-m\n\. loyal, 

 Compel our soldiers Sage, 

 To pay the Pe7iny-Royal. 



A lawyer in his books, 



Discovers foliation. 



And often makes his bread 



By a.floiver-y oration ; 



The Sportsman likes the Turf 



To train his cattle jadish, 



If he buys a reddish horse, 



He 's sure to like Horse-radish. 



Fairest of Eden's flowers 

 Was Woman, ere farewell. Sirs, 

 She bade to Eden's fruit, 

 The fatal Nonpareil, Sirs. 

 Here's Woman ! from the time 

 Creation's pencil drew lips. 

 And the breathings of the iR.ose, 

 That lives upon her two-lips. 



And when at Gretna greens 

 Young ladies wish a frolic, 

 If Pa says " Cant-elope," 

 Why they feel JIfe/on-cholic ; 

 Good wives the Nursery love, 

 Their tender plants to feed. Sirs, 

 And widows wish, siih-rosa, 

 To throw aside their toeeds, Sirs.
