This fine old English Omnibus: fun of the present time.
Now months have rolled since we were told this fine old ’bus must die,
That another and a cleanlier its place was to supply:
Yet for that “good ’bus coming, boys,” all vainly still we sigh,
And when we take our walks abroad that nuisance we espy—
The fine old English Omnibus: blot on the present time.
Punch. November 22, 1856.

I’ll sing you a right good song, made by an honest pate,
