All your lives obstruction brewing.
Cease, or else be true!
Measures banished, wrongs not righted.
See your Church, how disunited!
See the scores of bills you’ve blighted
In the House of Peers!
Cringing, wav’ring, and benighted,
’Midst your country’s tears.
Yet you deem yourselves a blessing—
Sleek and fat, and self-caressing,
