Marking the hue on the parental gills,

Brought a new charge of Anti-tumeric Pills,

To bleach the jaundiced visage of his mother—

Who took them—in her cupboard—like the other.

"Deeper and deeper still", of course,

The fatal colour daily grew in force;

Till daughter W. newly come from Rome,

Acting the self-same filial, pillial, part,

To cure Mamma, another dose brought home

Of Cockles;—not the Cockles of her heart!
