OF THE POEMS OF
Alfred, Lord Tennyson,
POET LAUREATE.
——:o:——
lthough several numbers of Parodies have already been devoted to this Author, there still remain many excellent burlesques of his writings, which, for the sake of the completeness of this collection, must be quoted. The popularity of Tennyson’s poems is in nothing more manifest than in the number of Parodies, and imitations, they give rise to, and the numerous collectors of Tennysoniana will no doubt be grateful for having these harmless, playful skits preserved from oblivion. The order observed in the following Parodies is that adopted in recent editions of the Poet Laureate’s works.

MARIANA.
Mariana on the Second Floor,
Waiting for her Lodgers.
