Then Balfour; he is courtesy's pure pink,

But why will he persist in masquerading

As cynic rudeness? Such "disguise," I think,

Is most degrading.

Matthews, again! Yes, he au fond would bless

A Cabinet of angels! 'Tis surprising

To see him as a muddler in a mess

Himself "disguising."

Then you yourself, my Grandolph! Blessings flow

From your bold eyes and trim moustache so tufty,
