PARODY ON THE ROSE-BUD OF SUMMER.

WHEN gooseberries grow on the stem of a daisy,
And plum-puddings roll on the ti e to the shore,
And jalap it made from the curls of a j zy
Oh! then Molidusta, I'll love thee no more

When steam boats no more on the Thames shall be going,
And a cast iron bridge reach Vauxhall from the Nore,
And the Grand Junction Water-works cease to be flowing,
Oh! then Molidusta, I'll love thee no more.

FINIS.
