Mock Father Nile, and his cataract’s roar
The might of Old England is felt once more—
Thanks to the Franchise Bill.
The Camels are coming at last, at last!
The dream of dishonour has passed, has passed.
But this we owe not to Gordon’s fame,
Or the growing power of that hero’s name,
Or to Europe’s echoing cry of “Shame”—
But to the Franchise Bill.
The Camels are coming at last, at last!
