Parody

Communicated by Miss Flaxman

Parody — Impromptu — composed in the Laurel Bower.. after a slight doze

Said a Cough to a Sneeze,
Like the soft-passing breeze
While it raved like the wind in rough weather
“Little Sneeze I declare,
It strange doth appear
That we should be here both together.”

“I was caused by a strong snuff
Rather more than enough,
From a Beau’s thumb and finger proceeding.”
“And the truth to unveil
I came to conceal
So flagrant a breach of good breeding.”

Cries the Sneeze, “Then I swear,
Brother Cough, it is clear,
We are twins, and rappee is our Mother
And most woeful grimace,
Shall distort ev’ry face
That attempts our joint efforts to smother.
