PARODY OF A SHROPSHIRE LAD by HENRY MAXIMILIAN BEERBOHM

First Line: AND NOW, LAD, ALL IS OVER
Last Line: AND TAKE YOUR FINAL DIP.
And now, lad, all is over
"Twixt you, your love, and the clover;
So keep a stiff upper-lip
And shrink not, lad, nor shiver,
But walk you down to the river
And take your final dip.
