A Friar's Scourge: Nonsense Verses (1876)

By Mary Woolley Stapleton

Book Overview

A Friar's Scourge: Nonsense Verses is a collection of humorous and satirical poems written by Mary Woolley Stapleton Cotton and published in 1876. The poems in this book are meant to be lighthearted and entertaining, poking fun at various aspects of society and human behavior. The title of the book refers to the idea of a friar using a whip to punish himself for his sins, and the poems within are similarly playful and irreverent. Some of the topics covered in the verses include politics, religion, love, and everyday life. The book is a delightful example of Victorian-era humor and offers a glimpse into the mindset and cultural attitudes of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
