VERSES
ON MISS CHAPLIN--AND
THE BACK OF AN ADELPHI PLAYBILL.
Let Bulwer and Stephens write epics like mad,
With lofty hexameters grapplin',
My theme is as good, though my verse be as bad,
For 'tis all about Ellena Chaplin!
As lovely a nymph as the rhapsodist sees
To inspire his romantical nap. Lin
Ne'er saw such a charming celestial Chinese
"Maid of Honour" as Ellena Chaplin.
