Triumphant I rose, for of votes I’d no lack.
’Twas delightful to hear all constituents say.
“We idolize Jingo, and welcome you back!”
I flew to the policy traversed so oft,
The secrecy whence my “surprises” have sprung;
My motto, “Imperium,” floated aloft,
And I laughed in my sleeve at the softness of Bung.
Then pledged we the Water Bill; fondly we swore
From our spirited policy never to part;
The stockjobbers blessed me a thousand times o’er,
