“UP THE RHINE.”
Reading edition
HY, Tourist, why With Passports have to do? Pr’ythee stay at home and pass The Port and Sherry too. Why, Tourist, why Embark for Rotterdam? Pr’ythee stay at home and take Thy Hollands in a dram. Why, Tourist, why To foreign climes repair? Pr’ythee take thy German Flute, And breathe a German air. Why, Tourist, why The Seven Mountains view? Any one at home can tint A hill with Prussian Blue. Why, Tourist, why To old Colonia’s walls? Sure, to see a Wrenish Dome, One needn’t leave St. Paul’s.
