animas sapientiores fieri quiescendoA
-
-
And now cross buns and pancakes o'erB
Hail Lords and Gentlemen once moreC
Thrice hail and welcome Houses TwainD
The short eclipse of April DayA
Having God grant it past awayA
Collective Wisdom shine againE
-
Come Ayes and Noes thro' thick and thinF
With Paddy Holmes for whipper inF
Whate'er the job prepared to back itA
Come voters of Supplies bestowersG
Of jackets upon trumpet blowersG
At eighty mortal pounds the jacketA
-
Come free at length from Joint Stock caresG
Ye Senators of many SharesG
Whose dreams of premium knew no boundaryH
So fond of aught like CompanyH
That you would even have taken teaH
Had you been askt with Mr GoundryH
-
Come matchless country gentlemenF
Come wise Sir Thomas wisest thenE
When creeds and corn lords are debatedA
Come rival even the Harlot RedA
And show how wholly into breadA
A 'Squire is transubstantiatedA
-
Come Lauderdale and tell the worldA
That surely as thy scratch is curledA
As never scratch was curled beforeH
Cheap eating does more harm than goodA
And working people spoiled by foodA
The less they eat will work the moreH
-
Come Goulburn with thy glib defenceG
Which thou'dst have made for Peter's PenceG
Of Church rates worthy of a halterH
Two pipes of port old port 'twas saidA
By honest Newport bought and paidA
By Papists for the Orange AltarH
-
Come Horton with thy plan so merryH
For peopling Canada from KerryH
Not so much rendering Ireland quietA
As grafting on the dull CanadiansG
That liveliest of earth's contagionsG
The bull pock of Hibernian riotA
-
Come all in short ye wondrous menE
Of wit and wisdom come againE
Tho' short your absence all deplore itA
Oh come and show whate'er men sayG
That you can after April DayG
Be just as sapient as before itA

Thomas Moore
