And not a chain cable wear outside his vest.
He his mind must not speak, whatsoe’er he may feel,
For the Court is itself—oh! so very genteel.
Wanted—an Alderman!
Wanted—an Alderman—portly and fat,
To wear on occasions a gown and cocked hat;
To look sharply after the City police,
And fine costermongers his five pounds apiece.
To let out on bail each embezzling clerk,
And lock up young swells who are “out for a lark;”
