ABSTRACT
Here the ‘editor’ of Warreniana supposedly brings together those contributions to the great work whose authors ‘delayed their contributions until there no longer remained a possibility of inserting them in the body of the work’. This device enables Deacon to include a number of shorter parodies with a comic running commentary by ‘W. G’. The first, ‘The List of Loves’, echoes Thomas Moore’s drinking song ‘Hip, Hip, Hurra!’. This is the first of the glee’s five boozy stanzas: Come, fill round a bumper, fill up to the brim, He who shrinks from a bumper I pledge not to him; ‘Here’s the girl that each loves, be her eye of what hue, Or lustre, it may, so her heart is but true’. Charge! (drinks) hip, hip, hurra, hurra! 1
