It is some relief, amid so much that is tragic in the associations of this place, to have the horrible Tiberius Burlesqued and brought into donkey-riding relation with the tourist of to-day.
"Sketches and Studies in Italy and Greece, Vol III."
John Symonds
When, at the annual dinner of the Amen Corner, they Burlesqued him as singing to "Ham" Cutler, "You made me what I am to-day, I hope you're sat-isfied," he found that to laugh with the others was something of an effort.
"Somewhere in France"
Richard Harding Davis
Nejdanov was a strong admirer of Ostrovsky, but could not help feeling, in spite of the author's great genius, his evident desire to throw a slur on modern civilisation in the Burlesqued character of Veherov, in "Never Sit in Another Man's Sledge".
"Virgin Soil"
Ivan S. Turgenev
