#1199: Pp. 1-9, A Treasury of Humorous Poetry

I thought I’d put up some lighter poems to compensate for all the noir stuff from Browning, and found A Treasury of Humorous Poetry. This 1902 collection is nothing if not varied. In the first nine pages, we deal with gambling, battlefield injuries, lost love, horrible puns, the sea, and cannibalism.

Pp. 1-9:
“Honest Language from Truthful James” by Bret Harte
“Faithless Nelly Gray” by Thomas Hood
“The Ahkoond of Swat” by George T. Lanigan
“The Yarn of the Nancy Bell” by William S. Gilbert
