Whether Jack complied or not, is unknown. The boat astern was cut away, the Spankaway felt relieved, and drew up with the prize; the strangers retained their position, about three or four miles distant, and thus the chase continued till daylight, no one being able to make out what it all meant.
THE CASTLE BY THE SEA
FROM UHLAND
And didst thou see that castle,
That castle by the sea?
The rosy-tinctured cloudlets
Float o'er it bright and free.
'Twould be bending down its shadows
Into the crystal deep, —
In the sunset's rays all glowing
'Twould tower with haughty sweep.
"Ay, wot ye well, I saw it —
That castle by the sea,
And the pale moon standing o'er it,
And mists hung on its lee."
The wind and ocean's rolling,
Was their voice fresh and strong?
Came from its halls the echoes
Of lute and festal song?
"The winds, the waves around it
In sullen stillness slept,
Forth came a song of wailing, —
I heard it, and I wept."
The king and his proud ladye,
Were they pacing that high hall,
With crowns of gold, and girded
In purple and in pall?
And led they not exulting
A maid of rarest mould,
Bright as the sun, and beaming
In tresses all of gold?
"I saw that king and ladye —
The crown gemmed not their hair,
Dark mourning weeds were on them —
The maid I saw not there."

LEGISLATIVE NOMENCLATURE
AMONGST THE MOTLEY CHARACTERS AND COMBINATIONS IN THE NEW HOUSE OF COMMONS MAY BE FOUND
A Duke, an Erle, a Bannerman,
A Barron, and a Knight;
A Northland Lord, a Denison,
With Manners most polite.
A Kirk and Chaplin still remain,
Tho' the House has lost its Clerk;
But a Parrott's there to say amen,
And a Fox and Woulfe to bark!
Saint Andrew, holy man, is gone,
Who Knightley, Neeld, and Praed,[43 - Prayed.]
A Haytor[44 - Hater.] of the poor man's joy,
And Sunday Baker trade.
A Leader, and a Crewe with Spiers,
Conspire against A'Court;
But Dick declares, and Darby swears,
No-el is meant nor Hurt.
They've hunted Roebuck from his hold,
And Buck-ingham and Bruen;
But a Sheppard stays to guard the fold,
And save the flock from ruin!
There's Cow-per, Bull-ers, and Knatch-bull,
With Lamb-ton, Hinde, and Hogg;
A brace of Martins, Finch, and Hawkes,
And Pusey in a Bagge!
There's Moles-worth, Duck-worth, Cod-rington,
Three Roches and a Seale;
A Rose, a Plumptre, and a Reid,
With Hawes and Lemon Peel.
A Bold-ero, with Muskett armed,
Goes thro' the Woods to Chute;[45 - Shoot.]
He fires some Rounds, and then brings down
A Heron and Wilde Coote!
Great Dan, with his smooth Winning-ton,
Contrives his Poyntz to Wynn;
For his supple tail has stronger grown,
Tho', alas! he's lost his Finn!
Two Baillies and an Irish Maher,[46 - Mayor.]
And Burroughes, Power, a Bewes;[47 - Abuse.]
