Is uncommonly attractive in a democratic age.
"Balfour Must Go!" was once the cry of those who deemed him slack,
But now there's not a single scribe of that unruly pack
Who is not glad in every sense that Balfour has come back.
And as for his "successor"—the Napoleonic peer
Whose functions are restricted to a purely business sphere—
We must try to bear his absence in a spirit of good cheer.
