Where barbers boast, and patriots rage,
And if it tells of bankrupt Jews,
What matter? I’m among the News!
I love, oh, how I love the News!
It’s gay bon-mots and keen reviews—
To loll at ease from morn till night,
With nought but News within my sight,
While lords attend the huntsman’s becks,
And set no value on their necks.
I never see the motley News,
