NERO MAKES HIMSELF POPULAR ON A FLAG-DAY IN AID OF HOMELESS ROMANS REDUCED TO DESTITUTION BY THE GREAT FIRE.


A VISION OF BLIGHTY.

I do not ask, when back on Blighty's shore

My frozen frame in liberty shall rest,

For pleasure to beguile the hours in store

With long-drawn revel or with antique jest.

I do not ask to probe the tedious pomp

And tinsel splendour of the last Revue;

The Fox-trot's mysteries, the giddy Romp,
