Another parody of the same poem appeared in The World, July 23, 1879, from which a few verses are quoted:—

A DREAM OF FAIR WOMEN.

"DREAMING, methought I heard the Laureate's song

Of fairest women linked with deeds of shame,

Whose burning loves of insult and of wrong

"And for a while their sad looks haunt my dream;

Then the night-visions slowly fade away,

And fairer faces in the warm light gleam—
