And save where in a snug official room
The members of the S. K. Ring have met
To talk of things that in the future loom,
And the conclusion of their “Shows” regret.
Sad were their faces as they sat and heard
The clock strike out the Exhibition’s close,
And gloomily together they conferr’d
As to the Epitaph they would propose.
After conferring for some time, the following, it is agreed, shall be the
Epitaph on the “Colinderies.”
