On an advertisement of A Comedy of SighsA
-
-
Mr Aubrey Beer de BeersB
You're getting quite a high renownC
Your Comedy of Leers you knowD
Is posted all about the townC
This sort of stuff I cannot puffE
As Boston says it makes me 'tired'F
Your Japanee Rossetti girlG
Is not a thing to be desiredF
-
Mr Aubrey Beer de BeersB
New English Art excuse the chaffH
Is like the Newest Humour styleI
It's not a thing at which to laughH
But all the same you need not maimJ
A beauty reared on Nature's rulesK
A simple maid au naturelI
Is worth a dozen spotted ghoulsK
-
Mr Aubrey Beer de BeersB
You put strange phantoms on our wallsL
If not so daring as To day'sM
Nor quite so Hardy as St Paul'sL
Her sidelong eyes her giddy guiseA
Grande Dame Sans Merci she may beN
But there is that about her throatF
Which I myself don't care to seeN
-
Mr Aubrey Beer de BeersB
The Philistines across the wayO
They say her lips well never mindF
Precisely what it is they sayO
But I have heard a drastic wordF
That scarce is fit for dainty earsB
But then their taste is not the kindF
Of taste to flatter Beer de BeersB
-
Bless me Aubrey Beer de BeersB
On fair Elysian lawns apartF
Burd Helen of the Trojan timeP
Smiles at the latest mode of ArtF
Howe'er it be it seems to meN
It's not important to be NewQ
New Art would better Nature's bestF
But Nature knows a thing or twoQ
-
Aubrey Aubrey Beer de BeersB
Are there no models at your gateF
Live shapely possible and cleanR
Or won't they do to 'decorate'F
Then by all means bestrew your scenesS
With half the lotuses that blowI
Pothooks and fishing lines and thingsT
But let the human woman goI
