The Choice Humorous Works, Ludicrous Adventures, Bons Mots, Puns, and Hoaxes of Theodore Hook

by Theodore Edward Hook

"Too far by patriotic feelings some of ye are carried;

Economy 'tis very well at times to snarl and bite for,

But have a care, lest bye-and-bye there's nothing left to fight for."

Bow, wow, wow.

But, spite of Tierney, they have things and notices in plenty, too,

To keep the Mountain pack at work till June or July, Twenty-two;

And there's no doubt they'll do as much to serve the grateful nation,

As they had done before they parted for the short vacation.

Bow, wow, wow.
