OLD MACARONIC POEM._The Every-day Book and Table Book. v. 3 (of 3) Everlasting Calerdar of Popular Amusements, Sports, Pastimes, Ceremonies, Manners, Customs and Events, Incident to Each of the Three Hundred and Sixty-five Days, in past and Present Times; Forming a Complete History of the Year, Month, and Seasons, and a Perpetual Key to the Almanac

_To the Editor._

Sir,--I am a literary lounger, and diurnally amuse myself, during about

four hours, in poring over old poetical MSS. in the British Museum: the

result of yesterday’s idle labours was the accompanying transcript from

a macaronic drinking song, which appears to me a very curious

amalgamation of jollity and devotion. If you coincide in this opinion,

perhaps you will honour its unknown author by inserting it in your

delightful miscellany, which, like the diving bell, restores to the

world many interesting relics of antiquity, and rescues them from

eternal oblivion.
