J.K.S.,
The Street Organs Bill, 1891
(1891)
“ You must never give us pleasure, Grinder, after 8 p.m. When the dawn with rosy finger, Dissipates the eastern gloom, You and your machine must linger Silent in your silent room. Grinder, if you are not willing, When invited, to desist, You must pay your fortieth shilling, Wretched instrumentalist! Failing that,—a fate unkinder— You must languish in a gaol One laborious fortnight: grinder, Pray, oh pray that they may fail. This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
