"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."
