New Music.
Now Michel , who'd a sneaking regard for the lady , First loading them well , his two pistols got ready ; Cramm'd one in each boot , The old rascal to shoot . At the critical moment that night , unless he Consented to let poor Miss Clara go free .
And now should you hear , How almost he did so , my dear . But my story already is too long I fear , Suffice it , however , to tell That he manag'd the job very well ; For a broth of a boy was Michel : When Montalban his dagger forth drew ,
He offered him—pistols for two—And the ruffian made off without any to-do . In a nook very near the town-gate , The hour was just half after eight , Lurk'd Miss Clara to abide , When her father she spied , And another man chatting with him side by side .
She thence overheard A long conversation , of which every word Sunk deep in her brain , For it turn'd out quite plain , That throughout she had been but the dupe of his plot ;¦ For the Count de Montalban her father was NOT ! And feeling herself from her oath thus releas'd ,
Without waiting for leave from the bishop or priest , She told her whole story then , In the presence of witnesses , women and men . Montalban was hang ' d the next day , Which is almost the end of my say . — Next month , after mass for the dead , De Valmore and Clara were wed , And her father , Count Rosemberg , gave her away .
MORAL—No . 1 . Remember ! whenever you deal with a rogue , Keep a pistol , well prim'd , in the top of each brogue ; Try soft words at first ; But if it should come to the worst , You may shoot him , that ' s all , if you must .
No . 2 . Beware how you prate Too near a town-gate ; Or perhaps you'll have cause to repent it too late . M . No . 1 . —G . M . L . We had almost omitted to state that Mr . Braham has opened his
theatre ( the St . James ' s ) , and with every prospect of success . Its exterior is still unfinished ; but the interior is most classically and tastefully decorated . Pie , Braham , sustains the leading parts , and is still in voice—Braham . —Jerrold is engaged on a drama of very striking interest for his theatre , which for the sake of both we heartily wish may be most successful .
