[Some indignation has been expressed at the manners of many of the "well-dressed mob" at the Prince of Wales's Reception at the Imperial Institute on Wednesday night last, manners displayed in rudely "mobbing" the Royal party, and hissing, hooting, and shouting "Traitor!" at Mr. Gladstone, one of the Prince's guests.]
Eh? Indignation? Why such passion waste?
Gladstoneophobia has destroyed Good Taste;
And rowdy rudeness does not shock, but please,
"The mob of gentlemen who hoot with ease.
As for the ladies, bless their angry hearts!
They've Primrosed into playing fish-wife parts;
And now 'tis one of Patriotism's tests
That you should hiss and hoot your fellow-guests.
Should they dare don a rival party vesture;
