Neither a Radical, Tory, nor Whig,

But able to please every party.

He must not be squeamish, nor over nice

In tracing out jobs, root and fibre

He must loathe every sinner, lash every vice

But never offend a subscriber.

(This last is a process requiring great care,

Since vices are plenty, subscribers more rare.)

Learned, yet practical, he must unite

Natural talent with science,
