"Yonder is the three Japanese tumblers from
the private company of the Meekado, trained to expriss by motion an'
mysthical attichude, the eternal principles of poethry as understood
by Orientals, Hinjoos, an' thim Chinaysers: forninst the same, the
beaucheous Princess Popocatapetl, whose royal ancesthors was
discovered by Columbus, an' buried by another cilibrated Dago, that
ought t'have been ashamed of it; nixt her, the Hairy Man, wid a chin
beard on the bridge of his nose an' the hair of his head growin' out
of the shmall of his back; nixt, the cilibrated performin' dog,
David, that you'll recognise by his shmilin' looks an' polkadot
complexion; an' so on, the others in due order, that will soon be
increasin' your admiration for the marvels of creation, an' servin'
as texts, I doubt not, for the future discoorses of me frind, the
venerable clergyman of this parish, that sits in the front row--May
Hiven bless him!--all mimbers of the Flannagan an' Imparial,
includin', aye, even down to the poor wake-minded man that sells hot
waffles at the door, which if ye tell him, afther this performance,
that his waffles is the same kind of waffles that a shoemaker pegs on
for the sole of a shoe, it's me private opinion he'll be in no timper
to arguy the point.
