A traveller's farewell to his train
My-anything but beautiful.

...

My pewter full, my pewter full
My bicycle, my bicycle. One and All....
My beautiful, my bicycle...

The Englishman's farewell to his train
The public's address to his cabman

The rinker's farewell to her skates

Bingen on the Rhine

St. Louis by the creek Chicago Tribune.
Love not, ye hapless sons of clay!

Smoke not your weeds, nor pipes of clay

"Stay" not! no longer don. Punch.
Vote not for me, I pray. Robert Lowe.

The Cam, the Cam! the dirty Cam. 1836
The pipe, the pipe! the German pipe
The gin, the gin! Hodge's cordial gin
The mail, the mail! the Royal mail
The road, the road! the turnpike road!..
Of steak, of steak-of prime rump steak
The tea, the tea! the genuine tea!
The See, the See! the wealthy See!
The tea, the tea! the beef, beef tea!
The C! the C! the alto C!
The van, the van! the hurrying van!
The news, the news! the motley news...
The press! the press! the glorious press
King Death was a rare old fellow
July is a rare old fellow
