While the Primrose Dames fretted, the Unionists fumed,

She merely the thread of her roundel resumed;

And the Duncanites whispered—"'Tis most underhand!

We must send for a songstress to match Mrs. BRAND."

A change in her theme! She has altered the bar

To Kathleen Mavourneen and Erin-go-bragh!

Spell-bound stand the rustics; she's won the whole throng!

To the lady they've given their votes "for a song."

"'Twill be ours, will the seat—'tis the plot I have planned!

Oh, Music hath charms!"—exclaimed young Mrs. BRAND.
