SONNET MATRIMONIAL.

[One if a I:air in Fraser's May,;.-iia pr Dee,. niter .2

Ends the year '39—time last to end With fair Victoria's maiden reign; the rest Our now "fair vestal, throned in the West," Has vowed in matrimonial joys to spend. May every bliss the yonthful pair attend, In mutual happiness supremely blest ! May Windsor seem a turtle's loving nest, Where billing will with cooing ever Mend And this day twelvemonth may it be our lot,

With joyttul shout o'er England's hills and dales,

And gratalations over bowl and pot, To tell that happiest of all happy tales, That (as God sends the present) we have got A Princess Royal, or a Prince of Wales.
