"Shibboleths old to the wind we'd fling

And turn to the task that presses;

Sound reforms would go with a swing

And we might have a chance of lengthening

Those fearfully short recesses.

"There'd be the chance to show your tact

In welding the hostile sections;

Sworn and sealed in a mighty pact

We'd put on the books the world's best Act

Abolishing all elections."
