Benefit for Mattocks. [The Jester's Magazine, or Monthly Merry Maker included the following verses by "Bumpkin" from the Upper Gallery, "On Seeing Midas"]: @To Midas invited@And greatly delighted,@They all sung and acted so clever;@That in Rapture I cry'd, a,@To the folk on each side, a,@Burlettas and sing-song forever!@For tho' Justice Midas@Turns out but a Try'd Ass,@In preferring horse Pan to Apollo@The Airs are so pretty,@And so sweet the Duetti,@They beat all your Operas hollow.
