Dr. Mackay wrote a number of other songs. “To the West! To the West!” was very popular; it was imitated in some verses entitled “I’m in Love! I’m in Love!”; whilst “Far, far upon the sea” was parodied by J. A. Hardwick as “Pa, out upon the spree,” in three very coarse and slangy verses, which cannot have a place here.
CAREY’S “SALLY IN OUR ALLEY.”
Labby in our Abbey.
Of all the Rads that are so smart
There’s none like witty Labby;
He’s played of late a leading part,
So he’ll be at the Abbey;
No institution in the land
Escapes the sneers of Labby,
