Who reads or remembers Martin F. Tupper’s Welcome to the Princess Alexandra?
“And thus they warbled, in the style of Tupper,
Whose ode to our Princess is thought a fine
Sample of metre Alexandra-ine—
A poet arithmetical in fame,
Who lisp’d in numbers, for the numbers came:”
The Joy Birds’ Ode.
100,000 welcomes![34]
100,000 welcomes!!
And 100,000 more!!!
