POETRY,
HE DE-NATIONAL ANTHE1L* GOD save our gracious Green, Long live our College Green,
Gallant and free ! Scatter the Saxon crew, Strike the Red, White, and Blue, Roderick Vich Alpine Dhu, Cushla machree
• This poem was originally published by us in 1839. It is, however, so applicable to the present political situation that we make no apology for pre- senting it again to our readers with a few trifling alterations.—Bo. Spectator.
God save the septa and clans, Bless all the Micks and Dens, Bless all the Pate ! Heaven guard the gallant Manx, Heaven bless their herring-banks, Strengthen their triple shanks, Prosper their cats !
Oh! may heaven's choicest =ilea Comfort the Channel Isles, And make them French! God save good Patrick Ford, Hamstring the Orange horde, Handcuff each Tory Lord, Throttle the Bench !
God save Lloyd George and me, While full of ghoulish glee, Freedom we spite ! Oh! may no Saxon spy Wipe poor old "Ireland's Eye," God bless the Isle of Skye,—
Our Isle of Wight.
God save the Socialist, Up with the Anarchist,
Down with the Guelph; Discrown the Ocean's Queen, Shatter the whole machine, Bless every smithereen,— Chiefly Myself.
C. L. G.
