A FABLE FOR THE CRITICS.

Every cockboat that swims clear its fierce (pop-) gundeck at him
And make as he passes its ludicrous Peck at him,”—

Here Miranda came up and began, “As to that”,—
Apollo at once seized his gloves, cane, and hat,
And, seeing the place getting rapidly cleared,
I, too, snatched my notes and forthwith disappeared.
