"TEARS, IDLE TEARS!"
Punch's picture, "When the Cat's Away!"
Seems to have effect! The brutal "play"
Of young ruffians, in at least two cases,
Whipping has rewarded. What long faces
Trotter pulls! With his mild creed it clashes.
Sentiment's eyes are wet—about the lashes!
Howling brutes make mollycoddles snivel.
Let the ruffians rail, their champions drivel.
Brutalising to chastise brutality?
