Tennyson's "Enoch Arden" has been less frequently parodied than most of his poems; some years ago the Australian Punch had a clever burlesque of it, and a "continuation" of Enoch Arden was privately printed in 1866.

As it is now eagerly sought after by collectors of Tennysoniana, it is here given in full:—
