During the early years of the Restoration doggerel verses ridiculing Puritanism, and burlesque, that is, a ridiculous representation of serious subjects, or a serious representation of ridiculous subjects, were the most popular form of literature with London society.

You cannot imagine what doggerel I make to please the children." "It is not doggerel; it is beautiful," said little Harriett; "it is the best song of all, and the newest the one that Alice has made about the fire, when we were such tiny babies; and how poor mamma was so weak and ill, and papa was away, and the flames were all around; and Peggy and Jim you recollect Jim, black Jim, Mr.

B evidently thought I must have been "kilt intirely," for my situation looked so critical at one moment that they could scarcely be persuaded that neither Helen nor I were in the least hurt. I coaxed F that evening to write me a doggerel version of the story for the little boys, which I send you to show them: St. Anne and the pig. You've heard of St.

"Yes, yes, Captain," they all shouted; "give us a war song of your own composition." Now this was something that would please Flannigan exceedingly, for he imagined he was quite a poet. He had written some wretched doggerel, in which he had endeavored to embody his thoughts of persons and of personal experiences during the war.

Rhymes I wrote without stint or stopping a perfect deluge of doggerel; what became of it all I know not, but I have an idea that a manuscript volume was sent to my poor parents, as a sample of the poetical promise supposed to be contained in these unripe productions.

His thin, sallow little face bent close to the printed page, he had read Ivanhoe to her. At parties, it was she to whom he had brought the choicest favors. Departing to school, he had addressed her in melancholy verses doggerel decorated with references to flowers turned to dust, setting suns that would never rise again, countless symbols of hopeless passion and impending tragedy.

But that crumpled and soiled scrap of paper given to him by the woman Leridan still lay in his clenched hand as he strode back rapidly citywards. It seemed to scorch his palm. Even before he had glanced at the contents he knew what they were. That atrocious English doggerel, the signature a five-petalled flower traced in crimson! How well he knew them! "We seek him here, we seek him there!"

We noticed on our way to the canoes, a church, apparently from one to two centuries old, with the following doggerel inscription in huge letters over the portico, which shows that the dogma of the Immaculate Conception is by no means a recent institution in Mexico: Antes de entrar afirma con tu vida, S. Maria fué sin pecado concebida: Which may be translated into verse of equal quality,

It is none the less its truest office because some very wretched verse seems often to do it. The logic of such a fact is not that the poet should try to achieve this truest office of his art by means of doggerel, but that he should study how and where and why the beauty and the truth he has made manifest are wanting in universal interest, in human appeal.
