Deportmental ditties : and other verses . Soon the eminent musician (Like his organ, somewhat blown ),Gives a masterly rendition Of the march of on seats his hearers leaping, Stare and chatter all they want,Spinster aunts are gently weepingIn the font. Now, the ceremony ended, Happy couple drives away;Crowds outside, with lungs distended, Give three Hips ! and one Hooray ! And the brides self-conscious father Seeks his guests to entertainWith consumptive quails and ratherFlat champagne. 30
