All the turn-coats, out you’ll rout;
Even Joe and John.
If your teeth you plainly show,
They turn tail as well you know;
Will they wait your bite? No—no;
On to smash them—on!
From Radical Rhymes. By W. C. Bennett.
A parody in a somewhat similar strain will be found in Punch, June 26, 1886, relating to Mr. Gladstone’s election tour in Scotland.
