Your zeal, and their notions instil—

Though Trevelyan, and Millais, and Tyndall

Should tempt you to keep back your “pill;”

If you think he would frown our cigars on,

Or to sixpenny whist prove a foe,

If he’s only a Gladstonite parson,

My own Athenæum, say “No.”

If you don’t, he will cut some new caper—

P’raps accuse the committee of crimes;

He will ruin the club in note-paper.
