THE WATER-COLOUR ROOM AT THE ACADEMY.
Oh, what a smell from the kitchen to spur comers
Out of this room, where we think more of ham
Than HORSLEYS, of soup than STONES, hashes than HERKOMERS,
Mix MILLAIS with mutton, and LEIGHTON with lamb,
Think of salmon and cucumber, stilton and celery,
And not of the drawings at which we should look;
Reminded, when making a tour round this gallery,
But little of "Gaze," and a great deal of "Cook."
