But litter your welcome largess about,
And though cockney carols we cannot shout
We'll gather on branch and on gutter-spout,
And chirrup our thanks, we poor London Birds!!!
DISTURBED!
["It is absolutely revolting to read how the great batch of Armenian prisoners were beguiled into the Turkish camp, and after having received those rites of hospitality which in the East are supposed to consecrate and protect a guest, were taken away, brutally massacred, and hurled pell-mell into a vast pit, where it was intended no avenging eye should see what was left of them.... It is more than ever necessary that the investigation of the European Delegates shall be genuine and searching, and that the Turkish Government, to establish proof of its own sincerity, shall assist it openly, and act upon its conclusions in a manner unmistakably honest, earnest and exemplary."—Daily Telegraph, February 27, 1895.]
