TO "LIFE" OF NEW YORK.
(In acknowledgment of its "John Bull Number.")
In earlier peaceful days your attitude
Was witty and satirical and shrewd,
But, whether you were serious or skittish,
Always a candid critic of things British,
Though, when you were unable to admire us,
Life's "little ironies" were free from virus.
