(_BY MR. PUNCH'S OWN IMPRESSIONIST._)
Lights and bouquets--flush and flare--
Motley medley--splash affair--
Deft disguises--flute and fife--
Half the world without his wife--
Dominos, and masks, and faces--
Graces three--and three Disgraces.
Jacks-in-boxes--tambour-majors--
Janes in office--ancient stagers--
REYNOLDS' Duchess--Shepherdesses;
(Burlington) Arcadian tresses--
Primrose damsels,--clowns and follies,--
Organ-grinders--Flemish dollies--
Macaronis, rather muddy,
Of the central stud a study--
England's mashers, Afric's dark sons--
NATHAN's stock-in-trade and CLARKSON's--
All costumes not apt the back to,
Some of them inclined to crack too--
Martyred revellers in upper
Rooms, and singing for their supper.
Bright confusion--many a mad hunt--
Five o'clock--_and wish I hadn't._
