The prospect of unbroken rest

In dull uncertainty still lies

Far off, ’neath drear December’s skies.

The Peers have crossed the People’s right,

And there is bound to be a fight!

Against the ermine and the lawn

The proletariat blade is drawn,

Members must leave the mountain’s side,

The trout stream’s swift and silvery glide;

To raise the sword and shout the cry
