BYLES FOR THE BILL.
[In a letter addressed to The Times, headed "Pass the Bill and Take the Consequences," Sir William Byles makes the statement:—"I for one will take the risk without hesitation.">[
Darkling I sing. Ere Tuesday's hour for tea
Shall set this doggerel in the glare of day,
He who adjured us still to "wait and see,"
He will have tweaked the mystic veil away,
And you will know—whatever it may be.
You, but not I; for I have yet to wait.
