AN AFRICAN STUDY.
It's a cynical fact, but then his is the stain,
That returned was our medal by proud Duke Palmella,
And so now, if it chance decorations to rain,
We can only present him with—Gladstone's umbrella.
But, in hopes that his ill-advised ardour may cool,
Ere he swagger about under ignorant banners,
We once more recommend him to study at school
Geographical facts and some little good manners.
