——All the land’s a booth,

And all the men and women merely voters,

They have their franchise and their ballot-box,

And one man in his time gives many votes.

He votes for seven parties. The first, a Whig,

Frightened and cautious in the Liberal ranks;

And then the so-called Liberal, with his promises,

And sheep-like party-gait, creeping like snail
