A perfect Oracle—nobly planned,
To scold, to scathe, and to command.
And yet with an admixture slight
Of blague and bounce, and blatherumskite!
Punch. June 5, 1886.

Dusty Bob.
A Parody upon the style of Wordsworth, one of the Lake Poets, and author of “The Oxford Street Fiddler,” &c.
See where old Bob the Dustman stands,
With dirty face and dirtier hands,
