TO MOLLIDUSTA

When gooseberries grow on the stem of a daisy,

And plum-puddings roll on the tide to the shore,

And julep is made from the curls of a jazey,

Oh, then, Mollidusta, I'll love thee no more.

When steamboats no more on the Thames shall be going,

And a cast-iron bridge reach Vauxhall from the Nore,

And the Grand Junction waterworks cease to be flowing,

Oh, then, Mollidusta, I'll love thee no more.

_Planché_.
