It is a salutary sight for Bankruptcy and Debt—
Our good Attorney-General who never made a bet.
His interest in manly sports, an interest immense,
Was ne'er degraded to a mere "pecuniary sense;"
His boyhood's love of marbles leaves him nothing to regret—
Our good Attorney-General who never made a bet.
Next, when a youth, the cricket-bat he first began to wield,
And "Heads or Tails?" re-echoed for the Innings through the field.
He sternly scorned to toss the coin, howe'er his friends might fret—
Our good Attorney-General who never made a bet.
