A vast triangle high,
His name is on the Apex
To witness if I lie,
And underneath is written,
In letters all of brass,
How well brave Alpha held the Bridge,
That’s sacred to the ASS.
J. M. Lowry.
This parody first appeared in “The Keys at Home,” published about four years since by Field and Tuer, at the Leadenhall Press, London. It has since been included in an interesting collection of Poems, entitled “A Book of Jousts,” edited by Mr. James M. Lowry, also published by Field and Tuer, of London.
