Ode to King Arthur

Dublin: (The University Press), 1908. Softcover. Very Good. First edition. 12mo. 15pp. Tan pictorial wrappers printed in red. Moderate soiling and light creasing on covers, else a very good copy of a scarce pamphlet. OCLC locates two copies. In his preface the anonymous poet states: "I offer you this little book (having first received your sixpence) in the hope that the soulful pathos of its lines may touch your conscience and lead you to own up. The joke has gone quite far enough: and, as some one must have the Slipper, it would be a much better game to hand out, and stop the hunt-- a game at which Irishmen are au fait, to which (so-called) Irishment submit, Yours gently, Zero. Badly-Had Street, Dublin.
