The “bad hits” that should have been “beauties,”
The good ones so palpably “flukes”;
The fielders so slack in their duties,
The Captains so tart in rebukes;
The cocksures who dropped bobs and tanners
On matches like Surrey v. Notts;
The consequent breaches of manners;
The subsequent downfall of “pots.”
Good-bye to the Season!—Another
Will come with the coming of May;
