And then my client doomed to durance vile.
Then rose the readers of The Englishman,
And cried throughout the land with one accord,
“Appeal to Parliament!”
On that hint I spake—
They loved me for my notoriety,
And I loved them since it did profit me—
Therefore unto this Senate I appeal,
That my lost client should at once be free!
Funny Folks, May 8, 1875.
