Obstruction.
The Plea of the Party Man.
(On either side.)
"There's no Obstruction!"—Why, then, all this ruction?
"When we obstruct, who dares to call't Obstruction?"
To dam a deluge, stop a bolting horse,—
That is obstruction, of a sort, of course;
Our sort, in fact! But theirs on t'other side?
That's quite another matter. They can't hide
The cloven foot of malice, the false faitours!
