Morning Post, August 4, 1881.
The Three Fishers.
Three Tories[47] went bravely down into the North,
Away to the North which the “Rads” love best;
Each thought of the man that had driven him forth,
From the snug little berth that he once possessed:
For Placemen must live, though the country may starve,
And sometimes a blister, and sometimes a salve,
Will set party waves a-rolling.
