My Caliban—a melodrama villain—
Bearing Miranda off—(stol’n incident
From Grindoff in the “Miller and his Men!”)
And then resorting to an ancient scheme
From “Harlequin and the Three Wishes” borrowed
Oh horrible! oh horrible!—most horrible!—
If thou hast nature in thee, bear it not—
Do something, please—I’m not particular what—
But soft—an odour wafts along the wall—
Methinks I scent an early breakfast stall.
