The Pathetic Ballad of Clarinthia Jane Louisa

(To be sung to the tune of “The Monkey married the Baboon’s Sister.”)

This is Clarinthia Jane Louisa,
Holding her brother Ebenezer:
Here he sits on the post to please her,—
Happy little two!

Dog came by with a growl and a grumble,
Made Clarinthia start and stumble;
Poor Ebenezer got a tumble,
Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
