In the theatre there you still may see
Beautiful B. as Prince of D.
J. W. G. W., November, 1884.
(Written expressly for this collection, during the run of Hamlet at the Princess’s Theatre, London, with Mr. Wilson Barrett as the Prince of Denmark. Mr. Henry Irving, who had recently been performing the same part at the Lyceum, being then on tour in the United States.)
Annabel Lee.
’Twas more than a million years ago,
Or so, it seems to me,
That I used to prance around and beau
The beautiful Annabel Lee.
