From Poems by Edward Rushton. London—T. Ostell, 1806.

“As You Like it,” at Stratford-on-Avon.

The following Parody appeared in Gaiety. August 29, 1885, in reference to Miss Mary Anderson’s performance of the part of Rosalind, in the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, Stratford-on-Avon.

If your heart for joy hath pined,

Go and seek out Rosalind.

In W. S.’s town you’ll find

Mary A. as Rosalind;

In “tights” most gracefully designed

Will appear fair Rosalind.
