To shine upon the company that there have met together, sir,

So, be it so,

For then they may take boats and barge, and Row, row, row!

From Medley; by Cuthbert Bede, author of Verdant Green. London: J. Blackwood.


Home Rule all Round.

The question for the country now is no mere choice of Ministers,

’Twixt Liberals and Conservatives, the Dexters ’gainst the Sinisters,

A party warfare waging, with designs and dodges tactical.

Within the sphere of Politics, which common minds call practical.
