For we know you are but a political rake;

And Ontario will never consent to strike under,

While she has for her leader redoubtable Blake.

Old Sandfield, we know, is a premier squeezable,

And he’s willing to give, and you’re eager to take;

He would buy up your Province by any means feasible;

But he cannot buy up that redoubtable Blake.

Grinchuckle, December 9th, 1869.
