BY THOMAS HAYNES BAYLEY.

I'd be a Parody, made by a ninny

On some little song with a popular tune,

Not worth a halfpenny, sold for a guinea,

And sung in the Strand by the light of the moon.

I'd never sigh for the sense of a Pliny,

(Who cares for sense at St. James's in June?)

I'd be a Parody, made by a ninny,

And sung in the Strand by the light of the moon.

Oh! could I pick tip a thought or a stanza,
