(Sad Story of a Victim of "D——d Iteration.")

Tum-tum-tum-tiddle-um-tum-tum!

'Tis ground out twelve times over!!

My nerves all twitch, my brain seems numb,

Faith! I'm a music-lover;

But that infernal organ-grind,

With hideous iteration,

Is driving me out of my mind,

Into sheer desperation.

Tum-tum-tum-tiddle-um-tum-tum!
