Put on his hat and went down to the “House.”
The clock strikes twelve, it is really midnight,—
But “their Lordships’ House” is a blaze of light;
The parties have met and been pretty hard set,
To amend the amendments and manage to get
A Bill which looks something substantial—and yet
Isn’t the thing that is wanted quite
In this nice little island so bright and so tight.
The Marquis Bobby has had his fling—
Denounced the whole as a villainous thing,
