_Epigram against Burke._--Can any reader supply me with some lines of great

asperity against Edmund Burke, excited (I believe) by the unrelenting

hostility exhibited by Burke against Warren Hastings?

The sting of the epigram is contained in the last line, which, alluding to

the exemption of Ireland from all poisonous reptiles, runs as follows:--

"And saved her venom to create a Burke."

And if the said lines shall be forthcoming, I should be glad also to be

informed of their reputed author.
