ALICE'S ADVENTURES
IN WONDERLAND
Printed in England
'Tis two score years since Carroll's art,
With topsy-turvy magic,
Sent Alice wondering through a part
Half-comic and half-tragic.
Enchanting Alice! Black-and-white
Has made your deeds perennial;
And naught save "Chaos and old Night"
Can part you now from Tenniel;
But still you are a Type, and based
In Truth, like Lear and Hamlet;
And Types may be re-draped to taste
In cloth-of-gold or camlet.
Here comes afresh Costumier, then;
That Taste may gain a wrinkle
From him who drew with such deft pen
The rags of Rip Van Winkle!
