The more narrow your mind is disclose.

Punch, October 17, 1857.

(Ladies were then wearing very large crinolines.)


John Bull to Paddy

Believe me, if all those unfounded alarms,

Which circulate every day,

Proved true by to-morrow, and Fenian arms

Were uplifted to plunder and slay,

We should still hold our own, with unterrified heart,
