Which bark "Batti, batti!" all day:

The pony Sir Araby sported,

As hot and as black as a coal,

And the Lion his mother imported,

In bearskins and grease, from the Pole.

Good-night to the Season!—the Toso,

So very majestic and tall;

Miss Ayton, whose singing was so so,

And Pasta, divinest of all;

The labour in vain of the Ballet,
