"ON HIS OWN HOOK!"
A Political "Angler's Song."
(Imitated, at a respectful distance, from Piscator's Song in "The Compleat Angler.")
Piscator pipeth:—
Now private pique breeds party talk,
Some G. would bless, and some would baulk;
Some seem to find it pretty sport,
Changeful constituencies to court.
To share such games I do not wish,
No, for awhile, I'd rather—fish.
