Such is their loyalty and sense, the Irish have not risen.

Gentlemen of the Commons:—

You, without surprise, will note

That certain Estimates you will be duly asked to vote.

From saying, though, that they’ve been framed with a sincere regard

For thrift and for economy, I am, perforce, debarred;

For it is certain they’ve been framed upon a lavish scale,

That Tory candidates may still at Dockyard towns prevail;

That Ministers may, in effect, still foster with a bribe

Their infamous alliance with St. Jingo’s yelling tribe;
