the bedchamber, but contradicted by the sequel.)
Flattering deceiver, and man of many loves,
My fond heart still clings to your cherished memory. Why have I listened
to the honied silver of your seducing accents? Your adored image haunts

5. JOHN MARVAT respectfully begs to offer to the notice of Lord
Melbourne his Bachelors Dispatch, or portable kitchen. It will roast,
bake, boil, stew, steam, melt butter, toast bread, and diffuse a genial

peculiarly suited for lamb, in any form, which requires delicate
dressing, and is admirably adapted for concocting mint-sauce, which
delightful adjunct Lord Melbourne may, ere long, find some little
difficulty in procuring.
