If you don’t, well, you’ll very soon know
What ’tis to be in the hands of P’lice.
From The Figaro. December 19, 1874.
Verses
Supposed to be written by Edward Vaughan Kenealy in his seat in the House of Commons.
I am member for Stoke-upon-Trent,
My right there is none to dispute,
And the eyes of the million are bent
Upon me, so I dare not be mute.
