We feel inclined to sing:

“It’s all abbreviations,

We can’t make out a thing.”

Hecla.


Sing a song of Gladstone, and make the Tories sigh,

Who, in the coming contest, will have another try,

When the House assembles shan’t we do a grin,

If Tories take a back seat, and Gladdy should get in.

Salisbury in the Upper House, pulling faces funny,
