Would be—to hang daily a Railway Director!
Of course the Hon. Members could ne’er have a thought
Of opposing a motion with kindness so fraught;
But would welcome with fervent and loud acclamation⎫
A project so teeming with consideration,⎬
As a model of justice, a boon to the nation!⎭
Such, Simon, if I were a Parliament man,
The basis would be, and the scope, of my plan!
But my rushlight is drooping—so trusting diurnally,
To hear your opinion—believe me eternally
