THE MISERABLE BENEDICT.
An " Anniversary " Wail op Woe. Ah me ! the years are speeding quickly, And I am growing old and sere, As cares and troubles, crowding thickly, Increase with each succeeding year. E'en now I bend beneath their weight, As, gazing o'er the Waitemata, I think of how I met my fate, Twelve years ago, at the Regatta. Chorus — Hey, the happy Waitemata ! Ho, my fair inamorata ! Oh, the blisses, Hugs and kisses, At the Auckland grand Regatta !
