It doeswant a wash, there's no doubt about that,

For the marble's a dull, dirty brown;

That is, where it isn't as black as your hat—

Can'tthey clean it while Swelldom's from Town?

Marble? Deft Tadema, I will be bound,

Would say 'tis not worthy the name;

But I'd wager a pound, when next Season comes round,

We shall find it still the same.
