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,
