There was _no_ standing this--incensed I broke
From my bonds of sleep, and indignant woke,
Exclaiming, "Oh shades of other times,
"Whose voices still sound, like deathless chimes,
"Could you e'er have foretold a day would be,
"When a dreamer of dreams should live to see
"A party of sleek and honest John Bulls
"Hobnobbing each other in poets' skulls!"

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE.
Sir--A well-known classical traveller, while employed in exploring,
some time since, the supposed site of the Temple of Diana of Ephesus,
was so fortunate, in the course of his researches, as to light upon a
very ancient bark manuscript, which has turned out, on examination,
to be part of an old Ephesian newspaper;--a newspaper published, as
you will see, so far back as the time when Demetrius, the great
Shrine-Extender,[1] flourished.
I am, Sir, yours, etc.
