The Hornet, June 19, 1872.
Bonnie Bar-gee.
“’Tis a jolly conception!”—’twas Truscott who spoke—
“Though Temple Bar’s gone, we can still have our joke;
So let each civic wag who loves humour and me,
Vote for putting this Stone where the Bar used to be.
Come, out with your trowels, and up with the Stone,
Though Cabmen may cavil, and Bus-drivers groan,
We care for no pleadings or warnings—not we!
