To provide, by a stroke of the pen!
In return—if a living he fish up
Why we're both of us "hon'rable men."
Even Cabinet Ministers often
Are proud to admit us as friends,
In those social enjoyments which soften
Official hauteur, till it bends:
What pleasure to give one's cadetships
To a hard-worked First Lord—and if then,
One's sons, now on half-pay, should get ships,
