Hear that, oh, purple and fine linen!
And may it please your Majesty to grant a lease of Buckingham Palace to the old and infirm Bishops of St. Stephen’s, that they may take daily exercise in St. James’s Park, fill their aprons with bread crumbs, and reverently feed the ducks!
Hear that, oh, Lawnsleeves?
And now to Gladstone, Bright, and Stuart Mill, chosen of the people, let us render our thanks now and for ever!
Amen.
H. Disley, Printer, 57, High Street, St. Giles, London.
