From Mephystopheles. February 28, 1846.
This illustrated satirical journal commenced, as a rival to Punch, on December 13, 1845, and lasted until March 28, 1846. It contains several other parodies, all of which are uninteresting at the present time, but they may be enumerated.
- The Medical Gent, à la Tennyson.
- Pledge Rescinding, after Campbell’s Hohenlinden.
- “When other lips with other arts.”
- The Schoolmaster, after Oliver Goldsmith.
The Row.
I knew by the noise that I heard all around
In the street where I was, that a row it was near;
And I said, “If there’s fun this good night to be found,
As I love it so dearly, I shall sure find it here.”
