Punch. June 30, 1888.
Pray come along to Hawarden, says the Grand Old Man so fly,
(Or p’rhaps I should say spider), to convince you let me try.
Home Rule’s the grandest principle since first the earth began,
And to vote for C. S. Parnell and his friend, the Grand Old Man.
Pop in the train at Euston and to Chester then run down,
And don’t make speeches on the way (such conduct makes me frown,)
If but a Post-card you will send to say when you’ll arrive,
