Though in comedy vague my idea of fun,
Yet soon on the boards I shall be number one,
Said I, &c.
I always will keep my peculiar stride,
Said I, &c.,
In Hamlet, Charles, Richelieu, and Romeo beside,
Said I, &c.
With pre-Raffaelite Ellen my woes to assuage,
In London be burlesqued, in Scotland the rage,
We triumph on every American stage.
