Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 104, March 4, 1893
Transcriber's Note: The short pieces Suppositious and Quite Another Thing were moved from their original positions accompanying the illustration The Political Fancy Dress Ball at Covent Gardent on page 107 to the end of page 108, to prevent the Essence of Parliament article from being broken in the middle.
Ah, why, my Love, receive me
With such tip-tilted scorn?
Self-love can scarce retrieve me
From obloquy forlorn;
'Twas not my fault, believe me,
That wealthy I was born.
Of Nature's gifts invidious
I'd choose I know not which;
One might as well be hideous
As shunn'd because he's rich.
