I remember, I remember,
No soda would he bring,
He said the air seem'd rather fresh
For night birds on the wing!
The spirits needed feathers then,
And rest my fevered brow;
He only said, "The place is cool,"
And, "Mind! don't make a row!"
The Figaro, March 7, 1874.
Another parody of the same original appeared in The Figaro for August 26, 1874. It was entitled, "I Remember, I Remember, a reminiscence of Child-Hood and Thomas Hood," and consisted of four verses, but they are not now of sufficient interest to be quoted.
