[3] In the facetious poem entitled
May Fair, in speaking of Captain
Parry’s undertaking, and predicting
its probable want of success,
the following prophetic couplet appears:—
“Quarter-day you’ll
have him back,
With his volume in his pack;”
And lo! on quarter-day, the
29th of September, did Captain Parry
make his appearance at the Admiralty!!
