Many of the beautiful legends of the old Grecian mythology have been chosen as the themes for burlesques, both poetical and dramatic.
A list of the dramatic burlesques will be given later on, of the poetical mythological burlesques many may be found in Punch, and the other comic papers; the following originally appeared in the Hornet:
Pygmalion; or, The Statue Fair.
There was an ancient classic swell,
An interesting alien,
His kinsfolk called him “Piggy,” but
His full name was Pygmalion.
