Russia is plotting, and will soon spread forth her eagle wing ! Her navy is preparing, and important political events may be expected to claim the attention of all Europe:— Time rolls on, and dire oppressionShall receive a serious lesson !The mighty lever takes a turn—Again the flames will fiercely burnUpon the borders of the north;From thence, proceeding to the south :And eastern news of direful kindShall cause amazement—more behind !Yet accusations shall enforce,And reveal a venal sourceOf dire ambition—on a rockShall be felt the eastern shock!Amid the ocean one will go,And like Napoleon sink with woe;Less deserving—his conditionWas for fleeting joys—ambition!The dice will rattle, and the lossWill one on shores of quicksand toss;A venal hero seals his fate—A blot to honour and estate. Thus speak the harbingers on high ! Time, on its rapid motion, will, I fear, fatally illustrate the rest. The Royal Merlin. 389ILLUSTRATION, No. XLVI.Text Appearing After Image:CIRCLE V.—SECT. VI. ©fignbattong anti ^rrtrationg, BY THE ROYAL MERLIN.It will soon be an important period for Great Britain ; but shemust not be too subservient to the eagle of the north ! Be preparedfor political changes in America about this period, as a secret plan isagitating in that rising country ! Perhaps the eagle of A a may-be concerned in the operations of the American republic ! Its poli-cies are subtle and not very advantageous to England :-— The midnight cabinet is held, Where great Napoleon once dwelld: His shade, as Denmarks, may arise, And great events mankind surprise! A comet bright will soon appear— Then mark the end of this strange year The Turk pursues his sanguine way Where Mars terrific shall display A direful scene ! Poor Greeks, you fly Till heaven assistance does supply From Mercys court! Egypt will know trouble, and some sudden convulsions of thesouthern world will soon be manifested.
