Parodies of the works of English & American authors online

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other

any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner

PARODIES

WALTER HAMILTON,

Fellow of the Royal Geographical and Royal Historical Societies:

Author of " A History of National Anthems and Patriotic Songs f^* " A Memoir of George Cruikshank,^*

•• The Poets Laureate of England '^ '• The Msthetic Movement in England** etc.



" We maintain that, far from converting virtue into a paradox, and degrading truth by ridicule, Parody will only strike at

what is chimerical and false ; it is not a piece of buffoonery so much as a critical exposition. What do we parody but the absurdities

of writers, who frequently make their heroes act against nature, common-sense, and truth ? After all, it is the public, not we, who are

the authors of these Pabodibb.'*

HEN this Collection was originally projected it was intended to publish a few only of the best
Parodies of each author. After the issue of the first few numbers, however, the sale rapidly
increased, and subscribers not only expressed their desire that the collection should be made
as nearly complete as possible, but by the loans of scarce books, and copies of Parodies,
helped to make it so.

This involved an alteration in the original arrangement, and as it would have been monotonous to
have filled a whole number with parodies of one short poem, such as those on " To be or not to be,"
" Excelsior," " My Mother," or Wolfe's Ode, it became necessary to spread them over several numbers.
In the Index, which has been carefully prepared, references will be found, under the titles of
the original Poems, to all the parodies mentioned. In all cases, where it has been possible to do so,
full titles and descriptions of the works quoted from, have been given ; any omission to do this has
been unintentional, and will be at once rectified on the necessary information being supplied.

By the completion of the second Volume of my collection, the works of the following Authors have been
fully treated, William Shakespeare, John Milton, John Dryden, Dr. Watts, Alfred, Lord Tennyson,
H. W. Longfellow, Thomas Hood, Bret Harte, Matthew Arnold, E. A. Poe, Wolfe's Ode on the Death
of Sir John Moore, and Miss Ann Taylor's poem ** My Mother." Certainly most of the best parodies
on these Authors have been collected, yet as new ones are constantly appearing, a further collection of
them will appear in a future part of Parodies, which will also contain any good old parodies that may
hitherto have escaped notice.

In a few cases where parodies are to be found in easily accessible works, extracts only have been quoted, or
references given ; but it is intended in future, wherever permission can be obtained, to give
^ the parodies in full, as they are found to be useful for public entertainments, and recitations. When the
^ older masters of our Literature are reached, a great deal of curious and amusing information will be
^ given, and it is intended to conclude with a complete bibliographical account of Parody, with extracts
^ and translations from all the principal works on the topic. Whilst arranging the first and second
"^ volumes, I have been gathering materials for those to come, which will illustrate the works of those

I old writers whose names are familiar in our mouths as household words. Much that is quaint and
<r- amusing will thus be collected, whilst many illustrations of our literature, both in prose and verse,

\ which are valuable to the student, will for the first time be methodically arranged, annotated, and
^ published in a cheap and accessible form.

In all Collections, such as this, there are some pieces which offend the taste, or run counter to
the prejudice of some individual reader, but great care has been taken to exclude every parody of a
vulgar or slangy description, although it need hardly be said that many such parodies exist.

Every effort has been made to avoid giving preference to the parodies of any Political party, and this
could only be done by inserting the poems on their own merits. If any good Political Parody has been
omitted, ignorance of its existence, not party motive, has been the cause.

I am much indebted to the following gentlemen either for permission to quote from their works, or for
copies of parodies sent to me for publication : — Messrs. P. J. Anderson, of Aberdeen ; A. H. Bates,
of Birmingham ; W. Butler; George Cotterell (Author of the " Banquet ") ; T. F. Dillon-Croker ; F. B.
Doveton ; James Gordon, F.S.A , of Edinburgh ; John H. Ingram ; Walter Parke (author of "The Lays

Leeds; Basil H. Soulsby, Corpus Chrisii, Oxford; Joseph Verey ; John Whyte ; J. W. Gleeson
White ; and A. R. Wright. The following ladies have also sent me some amusing parodies : —
Miss E. Orton ; Mrs. S. A. Wetmore of New York State ; and Mrs. J. E. Whitby. My best thanks are
also due to Mr. Walsh, and his courteous assistants in the Guildhall Library of the City of London, as
well as to the gentlemen in the Library of the British Museum.

NOTES AND COllEECTIONS.



The Parody of " The Village Blacksmith," on page 9, signed
Sphinx, was written by Mr. W, Sappe, of Forest
Hill.

Foot Note, page 112. — Mr. Artemus Ward is here credited
with the advice *' Never to prophecy unless you
know,'' an Aberdeen correspondent points out that
Mr. R. Lowell was the real author, the phrase occurs
in " The Biglow Papers :" —

My gran'ther's rule was safer'n't is to crow,
DonU never prophesy — onless ye know.



Page 232. Milton's Epitaph on W. Shakespeare, the fourth,

line should read : —

*' Under a star y-pointing pyramid."
Page 24. Read Ciinrls Iluuhlnfr, not I'caiulelaire.
Page 219. IVinef a Poem. The Copy of this old poem in

the Editor's possession, was published anonymously

in 1702. It has been ascribed to John Gay, who was.

born in 1688, the poem is certainly a remarkable

production fur a youth of twenty-one.
