'Twixt a simpleton and a clever knave.
The Times says so. Eh! Confound the Times?
Oh, don't say so, BILL! A man of crimes
Might funk the ordeal; but this is the plan

And therefore the plan of all plans for
A highly compassionate Chancellor!

What poor little Whales could have done to put the Clark of the Whether into sitch a temper, in course I don't know, but if he'd have had a good rattling attack of the gout in both big Tos, like some past Lord Mares as we has most on us heard on, he coudn't posserbly have bin in a wuss one.
