Then straight sent up the Income Tax, and went for confiscation.
And this is law, &c.
When Salisbury and Churchill came I made out at a glance, sir,
That Parnell and his motley crew were now my only chance, sir;
So now for Home Rule straight I go, unheeding revolution,
And fondly hope before I die to smash the Constitution.
And this is law I will maintain unto my dying day, sir—
That whatsoever parties reign I will in office stay, sir.
