A Genuine Philanthropist.

O Passmore Edwards, you, beyond contention,

Are worthy Punch's "Honourable Mention."

Whenever there be any boons a-brewing

You're very sure, Sir, to be up and doing!

There's scarce a project schemed with kindly sense,

But profits by your large munificence.

Punch won't forget to pray when passing bedwards,

For you—and for more bricks like Passmore Edwards!
