To be gripped by thy terrible squad!
I did but indulge in a quiz,
And the Quorum have sent me to quod.
Dear scandal is out of my reach,
I must pass my dull mornings alone,
Never hear Mr. Br——m make a speech,
Nor get audience for one of my own!
The people, provokingly quiet,
My fate with indifference see:
They are so unaccustomed to riot,
