WELCOME BACK!
[Mr. SANTLEY, who has been long absent in Australia, reappeared at St. James's Hall on Jan. 19, and was received with great enthusiasm.]
Back from your Australian trip!
Punch, my CHARLES, your fist must grip.
You have lighted on a time
When we're all chill, choke, and grime.
'Twere no marvel, O great baritone,
Did you find your voice had nary tone.
But there's none like you can sing
"To Anthea," "The Erl-King."
SCHUBERT, GOUNOD, English HATTON,
Equally your Fine Art's pat on.
Punch can never praise you scantly.
À votre santé, good CHARLES SANTLEY!
