In the Lords, as his mouth he could never keep shut,
He lied till he soon was the Chancellor’s butt.
Yes, ’gainst Catholics long time he had laboured for gain,
Till pay set his principle all on the wane,
When the Duke found him out in incognito snug,
And contrived to a Bishoprick Toby to lug,
Who sacred in office, but damned in himself,
Now is wholly divided ’twixt venom and pelf.
Figaro in London. July 14, 1832.
