Parodies of the works of English & American authors, vol. V

by Unknown

And when Parnellites decrying, and stern common-sense defying,

All my former self belying, the shadow steals across the floor,

The prescience of a Dissolution stealing darkly o’er the floor—

Annihilation, nothing more.

W. L.
