He sits on the Treasury bench all night,

And teaches the Tories to scorn all right

And send the Truth a-packing;

He favors “my uncle” with Irish news,

He is hand and glove with “my nephew’s” views.

And polishes Mr. Matthews’ shoes

With Warren’s infallible blacking.

He will flourish a pen for the London Times,

And prove to his own content—

With the faultless logic of pantomimes—
