But lor! not a bit on it, CHARLIE; the Britisher stuck out to rights;
'Twas JOHN BULL's big, well-printed old broad-sheet! Jest one of the pootiest sights!
TORTONI'S is all very spiffing, the Bullyvard life is A 1,
And the smart little journals of Parry, though tea-paper rags, is good fun;
But a Briton abroad is a Briton; chic, spice, azure pictures, rum crimes,
Is all very good biz in their way, but they do not make up for our Times!
Well, I'm not on for Turmutshire, CHARLIE, not this time; and now you know why.
Carn't yer jest turn the tables, old hoyster, and come for a bit of a fly?
Cut the chawbacons, run up to London, jine me, and we'll pal off to Parry;
And if yer don't find it a 'Oliday Skylark, wy, never trust.
