No bishop or squire

Can hope to aspire

To the glorious height of the law defier.

After orating, of fame I dream,

And Cromwell-cum-Wilkes-cum Washington seem,

Myself as a model I mortify

With a thumping cupful of wine when dry;

I wear best broadcloth, black as sin,

My breeches pockets are lined with “tin;”

I’m Liberal with a strong Radical dash,
