But the real and only 'Tich!'

Tich, Tich, Tich,

'Prison'd, dishonour'd, opprest,

Stitching at once with his sewing-machine,

A shroud as well as a vest."

(Four verses omitted here.)

With spirits drooping and worn.

With eyelids as heavy as lead,

The members sat in their place in the House,

And wearily longed for bed;
