( Lament by a Reader of Letters to the Papers. )
Oh! bless us and save us! Like men to behave us
We Britons once held it our glory;
Now Party bids fair to befool and enslave us.
We're lost between Liberal and Tory!
Some quidnunc inditeth a letter to Gladstone,
The style of it, Stand and deliver!
Its speech may be rude, and its tone quite a cad's tone,
Its logic may make a man shiver.
Au contraire it may be most lucid and modest,
