Punch, Or The London Charivari, Volume 102, Jan. 2, 1892

BORN, APRIL 27TH, 1808. DIED, DECEMBER 21ST, 1891.
Learned, large-hearted, liberal Lord of Land,
As clear of head as generous of hand,
He lived his honourable length of days,
A Duke whom doughtiest Democrat might praise.
Leader in truth, though not with gifts of tongue,
Full many a Friend of Man the muse has sung
Unworthier than patrician CAVENDISH.
Seeing him pass who may forbear the wish,
Would more were like him!—Then the proud command,
Noblesse oblige e'en Mobs might understand!
