SUPPLEMENT. 249
We highly extol thee, O great duke, for
by thy private, sinecure, and feminine
means, thy favourites supersede their se-
niors, and those of long tried merit, for we
know that to humbly beg thy gracious fa-
vour, in female accents, is the shortest way
to preferment. Great art thou, O arch
duke, and greatly to be feared, for thy po-
tent quack doth terrify the lower order —
no sooner doth the 1 — d h — gh chan — 11 — r
crow with lofty crest, in the sonorous tones
of thy voice, than the whole Br — t — sh
house of C — m— ns are put to flight in con-
fusion, with their bills of abolition sine-
cures—terrified and dismayed — and are
driven like chaff before the posterior wind
of thy might.
We most devoutly pray thou mayest
continue to rise to the highest zenith of thy
ascension— that the Vienna congress may
betwixt his hand and it, in case of teeth, and he carried it
home through the principal streets of Aberdeen, cheered by
the halloos of the rabble. As the m — q — s has been dinner
president of the Pitt principle association, it is to be hoped that
against the next anniversary dinner, a sufficient supply of
gkatp will be sent to London.
