Great Scott! It sounds so like a sell!
Bee-stings for rheumatiz?
As well try wasps to make one well.
That TERC must be a quiz.
Rather would I rheumatics bear
Than try the Busy Bee.
No, Austrian TERC, your cure _may_ work!
But won't he tried on _me_!

"IL IRA LOIN."--Great day for England in general, and for London in
particular, when AUGUSTUS GLOSSOP HARRIS,--the "Gloss-op"-portunely
appears nothing without the gloss up-on him,--popularly known by
the title of AUGUSTUS DRURIOLANUS, rode to the Embankment with
his trumpeters,--it being _infra dig._ to be seen blowing one
himself,--with his beautiful banners, and his footmen all in
State liveries designed by LEWIS LE GRAND WINGFIELD, he himself
(DRURIOLANUS, not LEWIS LE GRAND) being seated in his gorgeous new
carriage; Sheriff FARMER, too, equally gorgeous, and equally new, but
neither so grand nor so great as DRURIOLANUS The Magnificent. Then
followed "the quaint ceremony of admission." Not "Free Admission," by
any means, for no man can be a Sheriff of London for nothing. There
were loud cheers, and a big Lunch. _Ave Cæsar!_
