Foul is Fair.
(A Parliamentary Song of Sixpence.)
The Irish M.P.'s, who are born to the manner,
Can't see any harm in the language of Tanner.
In war for ould Ireland they boldly declare
That the course they pursue is quite (Donnybrook) fair;
And with joy each impulsive Milesian howler
Cries, "If 'Tanner' be foul, there's 'Bob' that is Fowler."
But Stooping to Conquer is always their plight;
Sir Robert's, at worst, the Mistakes of a Knight.
