My home is a dungeon, or something worse.

I shall never be happy or freed from care

Until I get rid of that old arm-chair.

From A Town Garland, by Henry S. Leigh. (Chatto & Windus, London, 1878.)


On the New Arm Chair.

(Presented to Mr. Gladstone.)

The Pleased Premier Sings:—

I love it, I love it; will Worms, now, dare

To nag me for loving my new Arm-chair?
