According to the school of U-
-niversal Penny Postage.
Who’d think our great authorities
Would do a thing so (penny) wise?
(Pound foolish things we know they do!)
How now in history they’ll rise!—
The Government that gave the U-
-niversal Penny Postage.
Oh, Rowland Hill, immortal man,
How can we pay you for your plan!
