And what avail our love of place and fee,
Wert thou a fallen State?
You—you—who should have led to Downing-street
If you have been too laggard in the race,
Ere we all starve, our roused rebellious feet
Will kick you from your place—
But then—too late, too late!
Henry L. Brickell.
The Government.—(On its Reputed Inefficiency.)
