What are Brougham’s rights I ask,

Me with irony so clever

Cruelly to take to task?

Whigs may proudly all connection

With the Tories now disclaim,

But for place a fond affection

Dwells, we know, in both the same.

Why did Whigs the all engrossing,

Take the place for which we toil,

Tories now must keep them close in,
