At inconvenient moments come undone!
Let hair-pins lose their virtue; let the hook
Disdain the fascination of the eye—
The bashful button modestly evade
The soft embraces of the button-hole!
Let old associations all dissolve,
Let Swan secede from Edgar—Gask from Gask—
Sewell from Cross—Lewis from Allenby!
In other words, let Chaos come again!
A large number of miscellaneous parodies remain to be noticed, a few of the best will be given in full; of the remainder it will be sufficient to indicate the works in which they occur, as they are readily accessible.
