Away went Bentinck, neck or nought,

’Gainst every timid Whig;

They little dreamt when he set out

He would run such a rig.

Some Irish members cheer’d him on;

Protectionists and all

Cried out “Go at it, George; well done!”

As loud as they could bawl.

Away went Bentinck, who but he

Could run such pace around?
