About his pride, and yet chin-deep in snobbery;

Leaving State matters to corruption's crowd,

And justifying (literary) robbery.

Whilst as a Briton! Bless us, 'twould take time

To picture Homo in his guise Britannic.

Here he is making a fine art of crime,

There he is fussing in a Puritan panic;

Here with MCMUCK he plays the prurient spy,

And there with OSCAR in a paroxysm

Of puerile paradox spreads to Cultchaw's eye
