That of all the dreadful messes,
A sadder than Philip Van Artevelde,
Had never disgraced the Princess's.
Loudly the manager told what he spent—
And he said that Macready had made him—
Ah! little attention the "Eminent" paid,
But coolly let Maddox upbraid him.
But now was our dreary duty done—
Our sleep-moving drama retiring,
From the distant jeer and the cutting pun,
