PUNCH TO PRIMROSE.

"A good one to follow, a bad one to beat!"

Don't envy the man who succeeds to your seat,

My clever ex-L.C.C. Chairman.

Fanatics and faddists will mar the best schemes,

Unless they're restrained from unholy extremes

By the hand of a strong and a fair man.

Your lubber, when first he adventures on wheels,

Has little control of his head or his heels.

With knees on the shake, and arms shrinking,
