The Bogey young Dizzy so cleverly vamped up,
So coolly torn to pieces by the old Lord B.
But the crusted Lord Bateman, his sad face veiling
From his country’s sorrows and his party’s crimes,
Went homeward, and endeavoured to solace his sorrow,
By buying a stuffed Dodo, and burning of the Times.
Punch. May 10, 1879.
Lord Bateman’s motion in favour of Reciprocity met with little encouragement in the House of Lords, and Lord Beaconsfield spoke strongly against it.
