Therefore cut the Sessions short,
Supplementary Sessions shirk.
Must have time to pot the grouse,
Must have time to hook the salmon,
Spoil our Sport to help the House?
Gammon!!!
Lost, somewhere between Land's End and John O'Groat's, a highly-treasured heir-loom, known as the "British Sense of Fair Play." It disappeared immediately after the issuing of the Report of the Parnell Commission, and has never been seen or heard of since. Many applicants have claimed to have re-discovered it; but, from Sir R-ch-rd W-bst-r and Sir W-ll-m H-rc-rt, to L-rd D-nr-v-n, and (last and least) Sir W. M-rr-tt, all have absolutely failed to substantiate their claims. Any Public Man, of whatever party, who can prove his possession of the lost treasure, by making a speech embodying a judicial survey of the Judges' Report, without party-feeling, special pleading, or paltry spite, will, on applying personally to Mr. Punch, be Handsomely Rewarded!!!
