The sweetest she’d find in thy Glenfield-starched breast!

Potten Row shall be riderless, Kensington dark,

Ere the calves of that valet are driven from the Park!

Punch, April 20, 1872.


There’s not in all London a tavern so gay,

As that where the knowing ones meet of a day;

So long as a farthing remains to my share,

I’ll drink at that tavern, and never elsewhere!

Yet it is not that comforts there only combine,
