Sir Jonah Barrington lately met rather a noted corporator of Dublin in

Paris, and in the course of conversation inquired why, after the king’s

visit to the metropolis of Ireland, and his conciliatory admonitions,

the corporation still appeared to prefer the “Boyne Water” and “King

William.” The answer was characteristic. “Lord bless you, sir Jonah,”

replied the corporator, “as for the _Wather_ we don’t care a farthing

about that; but if we once gave up ould _King William_, we’d give up all

our enjoyments! Only for the _Glorious Memory_ we would not have a toast

to get drunk with--eh! sir Jonah?”
