THE TRIUMPH OF KING FOG.
A P.ean at Putney.
i The Oxford and Cambridge Boat-Race for 1880 was postponed from Saturday,
on account of the fog, and rowed on Monday, in mist and misery.]
King Fog loquitur,
Ha ! ha! Ho! ho ! This is a crowning joke,
A pleasantry that men will long remember.
Dolts! did they think to limit my dread yoke
To the poor rule of one dull month, November ?
This, this will undeceive them: tops my winnings
This season! I have had a splendid innings!
