IDYLLS OF THE KING.
A Parody of the Dedication.
In Memoriam.—A Collie Dog.
“These to its Memory—since from all I hear
It was a dog most dutiful and dear—
These simple lines, in which will p’rhaps be found
Some lasting image of a faithful hound,
I to its mourning mistress consecrate,
Hoping therewith her sorrow to abate;
