(To All whom it may concern.)

Hasty assumption, by spite inspired,

Spouting in public before you've inquired

Basis of fact or authority's worth;

Wriggles, provoking much cynical mirth,

Roundaboutation, sophistical fudge;

Then retractation, but done with a grudge!—

Gentlemen, gentlemen, is this good form?

Would you political citadels storm

Like Heathen Chinees with (word) "stinkpots"? For shame!
