And ever since that fatal hour the people do

That became humorist, alas! right then
and there:
Though to be considered serious I'd give lot

In vain tried to prove myself libeled indi-

The fatal truth confronted me-the joke was
quite original.
where'er went there followed me that dread
ful reputation.
And every word spoke aroused uproarious
exclamation,
If remarked in casual tones upon the gloomy
weather.
The people laughed until they cried. and
laughed and ceied togethera

But people only laughed again, and whispered,

In fact, the more that | became a sacrifice 10

The more met the wretehed glee that drove

Full half my time is spent in declining press

And scented notes and letters couched in
words as sweet as honey
Now won't you send your autograph and

If / should sink beneath my trials and leave

The world would give me credit for the best
