The Rubaiyat of Omar Cayenne

Wake! For the Hack can scatter into flight
Shakespere and Dante in a single Night!
The Penny-a-liner is Abroad, and strikes
Our Modern Literature with blithering Blight.
Before Historical Romances died,
Methought a Voice from Art's Olympus cried,
When all Dumas and Scott is still for Sale,
Why nod o'er drowsy Tales, by Tyros tried?
