Parodies of the works of English & American authors, vol. II

by Unknown

Of the folly that impels

To the laughing and the quaffing

Of the swells, swells, swells,

Of the swells, swells, swells, swells,

Swells, swells, swells,

Of the dining and the fine-ing of the swells!

See the literary swells—

Writing swells!

What a tale of envy now their turbulency tells,
