And then shall each Paddy, who once on the Liffy

Perchance held the helm of some mack'rel hoy,

Hold the helm of the state, and dispense in a jiffy

More fishes than ever he caught when a boy.

In crowds to the bar of some ale-house to flock,

When bred to our bar shall be Gibbs's and Garrows,

Assume the silk gown and discard the smock-frock.
