BY MICHING MALLECHO, ESQ.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Is it a party in a parlour,

Crammed just as they on earth were crammed,

Some sipping punch—some sipping tea;

But, as you by their faces see,

All silent, and all—damned!

“Peter Bell”, by W. WORDSWORTH.

 

OPHELIA.—What means this, my lord?

HAMLET.—Marry, this is Miching Mallecho; it means mischief.
