Which all neighbours got treatment the same.
Which he euchred the Turk—
For he played from a hand
Of “reserves,” that did lurk
Underneath his wristband;
And an island he quietly nobbled,
With a smile diplomatic and bland.
Bits of Beaconsfield, or a new Series of Disraeli’s
Curiosities of Literature.
