The threats of Beales and Dickson to despise,
To foster agitation through the land,
And read their speeches interspersed with lies,
Their lot was this; this their reward alone:
To Opposition Benches still confined;
The Russell Ministry by them o’erthrown.
To join the Tories they had not the mind.
Far from desirous of avoiding strife,
They for official spoils ne’er cared to play;
But in the feuds of senatorial life
