As mists are dispersed by the glad dawn of day.

Punch, November 13, 1841.


A New Sennacherib.

Sir Robert came down on the Corn Laws so bold,

And his backers felt savage, and sorry, and sold;

But the Premier of votes had a majority,

Amounting, in all, to about ninety-three.

As sheep follow the wether, submissive and mean,

That host at the heels of their leader were seen;
