Oh, it's all very fine, Mr. IMRE KARALFY,

Thus to blazon your "Venice in London" around,

To portray the Piazzetta for 'ARRY and ALFY,

But dispense with my tintinnabulary sound.

Ask the Tourist if, reft of my wee fellow-creatures,

On the face of the waters (and watermen) blown,

He can honestly recognise Venice's features

In their miniature—or, for that matter, his own.

Ever watchful, we guard, Messrs. ALFY and 'ARRY,
