Another by Mons. Alderman Lo Mesurier.

By gar, Achille he say, I make a you

Parler anoder launguage, ventre bleu !

Another by Lord Westcote.

Pliant and prompt in crane-neck curves to wheel,
Achilles rose, and turn'd upon his heel.

Another by Mr. Wilbraham Bootle.

In oily terms he urg'd the chiefs to peace,
For none was more a friend than he to Grease,

Another by Lord Bayham..

His conscious hat well lin'd with borrow'd prose,
The lubber chief in sulky mien arose ;

Elate with pride his long pent silence broke,
And could he but have read, he might have spoke."

Another by Mr. Dundas.

Up the bra' chield arose, and weel I wis

To beath sides booing, begg'd 'em to dismiss
Their wordy warfare in a general peece."*

It is impossible for the reader to comprehend the full force of this expression, unless he recollects the wonderful effects it produced in the House of Commons from Mr. Dundas's peculiar dialect, upon that memorable occasion, when that great diuretic orator, expatiating on Oriental tranquillity, assured the House, that" at that moment all India was at peece-Bengal was at peace-Tippo sultan was at peece-The Mahrattas were at pecce -Every creature in Indostan, he knew it for a farct, was comfortably at prece!!!"

This windy war, he swore, he could not hear;
So eas'd his troubles by a stream of air?

Another by Lord Fawconberg.

Achilles swore he felt by no means hurt,
At putting on great Agamemnon's shirt ;~~
He priz'd the honour, never grudg'd the trouble,
And only wish'd the profit had been double.

Another by Lord Winchelsea.

With formal mien, and visage most forlorn,
The courtly hero spoke his silent scorn.

Another by Lord Sydney,

The chief, unknowing how he shou'd begin,
First darts around, the' opposing ranks to thin,
The lightnings of his eye, and terrors of his chin.

Another by Mr. Brandling.

Achilles rose, and said, without the least offence,

*However sympathetic in politics, it is evident that the two last of these translators are at variance in philosophy-the former relying on the hydraulic fystem---the latter on the pneumatic.

Another by the Twelve Lords of the Bedchamber, in a passion. I

Frantic with desperate rage, Achilles roar'd
I beg ten thousand pardons, my dear Lord.

Another by Eighteen Bishops, quite cool.

Now't came to pass the Lord Achilles saith,
Hecate and Furies, Tartarus and Death.

Another by Lord Howe.

Hawling his wind abaft Atrides' wake,

The copper-bottom'd son of Peleus spake.

Had great Achilles stood but half as quiet,
He had been by Xanthus drench'd as I by Wyatt.
