But ever and aye there was something in it,

Something that could not be hers, My Queen.


My Scheme.

(As sung with great success by the L-d Ch-nc-ll-r).

Why and when were we driven to moot it?

Was it knocked off in an afternoon?

Will the Roman-Catholic Bishops hoot it?

Have we set it afloat too late?—too soon?

Did we try it because we feared a flounder?
