Beauregard.
In philologic vein,The thought came to my brain,
That Beau Regard, in France,
Means a “good countenance.”
And then I tried, but missed,
To give the thing a twist;
Some joke to interlard
On General Beauregard.
At last, this quip I wrought,
Out of the merry thought:
How Beauregard was chosen
To lead the Union's foes on.
That Carolina's shame
For her disloyal game,
Might — in slang phrase — have “Gone it
With a good face upon it.”
--Vanity Fair, May 11.
