MOUNSEER NONGTONGPAW.

PLATE I.

John Bull, from England's happy Isle,
Too bold to dread mischance,
Resolv'd to leave his friends awhile,
And take a peep at France.

He nothing knew of French indeed,
And deem'd it jabb'ring stuff,
For English he could write and read,
And thought it quite enough.

Shrewd John to see, and not to prate,
To foreign parts would roam,
That he their wonders might relate
When snug again at home.
