timents various were giv'n;
As "Health to our Host, and the Land that we live in."

[Illustration: _"Rule, Britannia, the Lion sung. &c." p. 15._]

The former was drank with huzzas, three-times-three, [p 15]
Which echo repeated with rapturous glee.
Now mirth and good humour pervaded the throng,
And each was requested to furnish a song,
Which many comply'd with; but such as deny'd,
Some whimsical laughable story supply'd.
The Lion, "Britannia Rule," sung mighty well:
The Tiger, "in English Roast Beef," did excel.
While others made all the wide valley to ring,
With "Nile's Glorious Battle," and "God Save the King."
In such good amusements the evening they past, [p 16]
Till Aurora appear'd to the eastward at last:
When back to their homes, they return'd one and all,
Well pleas'd with the sports at the Elephant's Ball.
