Your City should have shown more sense, and had sufficient nous,
To know that he should never be throned at the Mansion House.”
Truth Christmas Number. 1879.
The Little Vulgar (Scotch) Boy.
The following appeared in Punch, August 13, 1881, with a cartoon, by Sambourne, representing the pedantic, pompous, prosy, priggish Duke of Argyll, in Highland Costume, “taking a sight” and putting out his tongue at the occupants of the Treasury Bench, whom he has just styled “Jelly-fish”:
It was a little vulgar boy, exceeding sharp, and Scotch,
At Westminster Aquarium he stood the fish to watch.
He willingly had got at them, but, helpless so to do,
Indulged, like little vulgar boys in general, in “Yah-boo!”
