For pure platonic love of play he stands, unequalled yet—
Our good Attorney-General who never made a bet.
St. Stephen's, too, thinks much of him; but ah! his soul it pains
To know that Speculation o'er the lobby sometimes reigns;
He's chided OLD MORALITY and RANDOLPH and the set,
Beseeching them on bended knees to never make a bet.
We all are fond of him, in short, the Boxes with the Gods;
That he's a first-rate fellow we would gladly lay the odds.
But no!—himself would veto that. We must not wound our pet
Precise Attorney-General who never made a bet.
