The bonhomie of Charlie Fox,
And Selwyn’s ghastly funning.
The dear old street of clubs and cribs,
As north and south it stretches,
Still seems to smack of Rolliad squibs,
And Gillray’s fiercer sketches;
The quaint old dress, the grand old style,
The mots, the racy stories;
The wine, the dice, the wit, the bile—
The hate of Whigs and Tories.
