Duet.
The Tory Obadiah, by Mr. Marriott, M.P.
The Union Obadiah, by Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, M.P.
Said the Union Obadiah to the Tory Obadiah,
“We have both, Obadiah, turned our coats!”
Said the Tory Obadiah to the Union Obadiah,
“That, our ’cuteness, Obadiah, but denotes!”
For we turned them to some purpose; for example, in my case,
Did I not receive, most promptly, from the Tories a good place?
Come, my worthy fellow-ratter, let us cordially embrace!”
