Off on Circuit I'm hurried away:

Election Petitions I'm made to judge,

On Irish Commissions I have to drudge.

Ah me! who would be,

A toiling Judge of the Q.B.D.?

To a cause célèbre I don't object,

Leaders of fashion around me sit,

My robes and ermine command respect,

I rather fancy I'm making a hit:

I feel there's a chance of getting, who knows?
