Greek's corpsed, and them graduate woters will flock to its funeral yet.
"We're going to plant it to-morrer!" That comic song 'its it at once. "Attic lore" will be blowed attic-high; and the duffers who dub you a dunce 'Cos yer 'OMER, or haitches, is quisby, in Rome or in London, will know That ARRIUS--or 'ARRY--romps in while CAT ULLUS is stopping to blow. As to ARRIUS, I wish I'd 'ave knowed 'im, no doubt we'd 'ave palled up to-rights, And 'ave chivied CAT ULLUS together, like one o' them broken-nosed frights Saps call elassick busts; stone Aunt Sallies fit only for cockshies, dear boy, Wich to chip out my name on their cheeks is a barney I always enjoy. Your Cockney eternal? No doubt! And a jolly good job, _I_ should say; It's much more than yer conkey old Classicks, for they 'ave about 'ad _their_ day. You may stuff college ganders with all the compulsory cram as they'll carry, And _then_ it's yer fly bird as scores off 'em, whether that's ARRIUS or 'ARRY. [Footnote 1: See article, "'Arry in Rome and London," in last Number of _Punch_.] * * * * * [Illustration: DRAWING THE LINE. |
