      PUNCH,

      OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.

      Vol. 103.

      July 16, 1892.

      TO THE FIRST BATHING-MACHINE.

      (After Wordsworth.)

      O blank new-comer! I have seen,

      I see thee with a start:

      So gentle looking a Machine,

      Infernal one thou art!

      When first the sun feels rather hot,

      Or even rather warm,

      From some dim, hibernating spot

      Rolls forth thy clumsy form.

      Perhaps thou babblest to the sea

      Of sunshine and of flowers;

      Thou bringest but a thought to me

      Of such bad quarter hours.

      I, grasping tightly, pale with fear,

      Thy very narrow bench,

      Thou, bounding on in wild career,

      All shake, and jolt, and wrench.

      Till comes an unexpected stop;

      My forehead hits the door,

      And I, with cataclysmic flop,

      Lie on thy sandy floor.

      Then, dressed in Nature's simplest style,

      I, blushing, venture out;

      And find the sea is still a mile

      Away, or thereabout.

      Blithe little children on the sand

      Laugh out with childish glee;

      Their nurses, sitting near at hand,

      All giggling, stare at me.

      Unnerved, unwashed, I rush again

      Within thy tranquil shade,

      And wait until the rising main

      Shall banish child and maid.

      Thy doors I dare not open now,

      Thy windows give no view;

      'Tis late; I will not bathe, I vow:

      I dress myself anew.

      Set wide the door. All round is sea!

      Hold tight, Sir! voices call,

      And in the water, jerked from thee,

      I tumble, clothes and all!

      O blessed thing! this earth we pace

      Thy haunt should never be,

      A quite unmentionable place

      That is fit home for thee!

      ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

      Brilliant Elector (at the Polling Station). IT'S A STOUTISH KOIND OF A MAN, WITH A BALD 'EAD, AS AR WISHES TO VOTE FOR, BUT AR 'M BLESSED IF AR KNOW 'IS NAÄME!!

      STUDIES IN THE NEW POETRY.

      No. III.

      It is with the greatest possible pleasure that Mr. Punch presents to his readers the following example of the New Poetry. It is taken from a collection entitled "Rhymes of the Ropes" These Rhymes are intended to illustrate the everyday life of the British prize-fighter, his simple joys, his manly sorrows, his conversational excellences, and his indomitable pluck. The author has never been a prize-fighter himself, but he claims for these Rhymes the merit of absolute truth in every detail. In any case it is quite certain that every critic who reviews the volume will say of it, that no previous book has ever presented to us, with such complete fidelity, the British prize-fighter as he lives and moves, and has his being—not the gaudy, over-dressed and over-jewelled creature whom the imagination of the public pictures as
