This Thomas Gray parody was originally published under the title "Lines on a Recent Event at Eton College" in the Pall Mall Gazette, 17 November 1882. The "Recent Event" referred to was James Leigh Joynes' forced resignation from his post at Eton for writing a book about his travels in Ireland, including his mistaken arrest ("They snatched a fearful Joynes") by the Irish authorities.
