You have talked a lot of bunkum, all mixed up with most terrific cant.

But you truly said that "persons are so very insignificant;"

And the author of a speech I read, part scum and partly dreggy,

Is perhaps the least significant—that windbag named CARNEGIE.

But your kindness most appals me, Sir; how really, truly gracious,

For one whose home is in the States, free, great, and most capacious,

To come to poor old England (where the laws but make the many fit

To lick a Royal person's boots), and all for England's benefit.

To preach to us, and talk to us, to tell us how effete we are,

How like a flock of silly sheep who merely baa and bleat we are.
