A Briton, but with an Italian name,—

Who ceremoniously improved the time

With some cadenzas—aiming the sublime—

On one of Broadwood’s fine old instruments;

Then gently introduced his rudiments

(Or some-one-else’s) in the key of “C,”

The scale of which Jane master’d dexterously;

Then, in due time, proceeded on to “G,”

And conquer’d the sharp seventh most famously;

Engaging now in “sharps” and then in “flats,”—
