Performed the most daring contortions

With true Caledonian lilt;

Lord Morley resembled a Gracchus;

Lloyd George was a genial Jack Cade,

And Elibank, beaming like Bacchus,

The revels surveyed.

The music was subtly compounded

Of melodies famous of yore,

And measures that richly abounded

In modern cacophonous lore;
