In the tableau of the last act with the blood upon his brow.

Punch, November 11, 1843.


He Dined at Bertholini’s.

He dined at Bertholini’s, the day when first we met,

A pint of single stout was on the board before him set;

His dinner had the lightness—his voice the humble tone

Of one to whom a shilling was not intimately known;

I saw him but a moment, but I think I see him now,

In that hat of time-worn gossamer that drooped upon his brow.
