ENGLAND Y. AUSTRALIA. - ANOTHER MATCH.
Am: " Nelly Bligh," Ivo Blioii Heaved a sigh, When across the main. Said— "unto Victoria's shores I'll go back again." Hi Ivo ! Ho Tvo ! Cupid takes a turn, Pnts to Ivo's heart a torch, And " Ivo's ashes " burn. Ivo Bligh's Roguish eyca Mako a sudden " catch," Sees a Southern beauty here, And seeks to play a "match," Hi Ivo ! Ho Ivo ! Phoenix is the same, From his "ashes" he will riso To play the same old game Ivo Bligh Means to try A life of married bliss, Let's hope that he will be a " hit," Although he seeks a "miss." Hi Ivo! Ho Ivo! Happy may you be ! May bad luck never "run you out" From your felicity. Ivo Bligh Need not cry For cricket's ashes more Since he takes his flame away To burn on England's shore. Hi Ivo ! Ho Ivo ! This truth never doubt— A married man is best " at home," And should be Beldom " out."
Melbourne Punch,
