The Grand Old Man to the North has gone,

’Neath a “Primrose” roof you’ll find him,

His “four point” poster he has girded on,

And his family travel behind him.

“Liberals all,” said the canny chief

“Let not disunion rend ye;

“Though by my deeds ye have come to grief

“In Speech I’ll aye defend ye!”

“Unite, Unite;” he pleads in vain,

Too late he sees his blunder,
