ON A RHINE STEAMER	A
	-
Republic of the West	B
Enlightened free sublime	C
Unquestionably best	B
Production of our time	C
	-
The telephone is thine	D
And thine the Pullman Car	E
The caucus the divine	D
Intense electric star	E
	-
To thee we likewise owe	F
The venerable names	G
Of Edgar Allan Poe	F
And Mr Henry James	G
	-
In short it's due to thee	H
Thou kind of Western star	E
That we have come to be	H
Precisely what we are	E
	-
But every now and then	I
It cannot be denied	J
You breed a kind of men	I
Who are not dignified	J
	-
Or courteous or refined	K
Benevolent or wise	L
Or gifted with a mind	K
Beyond the common size	L
	-
Or notable for tact	M
Agreeable to me	H
Or anything in fact	M
That people ought to be	H
	-
	-
ON A PARISIAN BOULEVARD	N
	-
Britannia rules the waves	O
As I have heard her say	P
She frees whatever slaves	O
She meets upon her way	P
	-
A teeming mother she	H
Of Parliaments and Laws	Q
Majestic mighty free	H
Devoid of common flaws	Q
	-
For here did Shakspere write	R
His admirable plays	S
For her did Nelson fight	R
And Wolseley win his bays	S
	-
Her sturdy common sense	T
Is based on solid grounds	U
By saving numerous pence	T
She spends effective pounds	U
	-
The Saxon and the Celt	V
She equitably rules	W
Her iron rod is felt	V
By countless knaves and fools	W
	-
In fact mankind at large	X
Black yellow white and red	Y
Is given to her in charge	X
And owns her as a head	Y
	-
But every here and there	Z
Deny it if you can	A2
She breeds a vacant stare	Z
Unworthy of a man	A2
	-
A look of dull surprise	L
A nerveless idle hand	B2
An eye which never tries	L
To threaten or command	B2
	-
In short a kind of man	A2
If man indeed he be	H
As worthy of our ban	A2
As any that we see	H
	-
Unspeakably obtuse	C2
Abominably vain	D2
Of very little use	C2
And execrably plain	D2
