And now cross buns and pancakes o'er | B |
Hail Lords and Gentlemen once more | C |
Thrice hail and welcome Houses Twain | D |
The short eclipse of April Day | A |
Having God grant it past away | A |
Collective Wisdom shine again | E |
- | |
Come Ayes and Noes thro' thick and thin | F |
With Paddy Holmes for whipper in | F |
Whate'er the job prepared to back it | A |
Come voters of Supplies bestowers | G |
Of jackets upon trumpet blowers | G |
At eighty mortal pounds the jacket | A |
- | |
Come free at length from Joint Stock cares | G |
Ye Senators of many Shares | G |
Whose dreams of premium knew no boundary | H |
So fond of aught like Company | H |
That you would even have taken tea | H |
Had you been askt with Mr Goundry | H |
- | |
Come matchless country gentlemen | F |
Come wise Sir Thomas wisest then | E |
When creeds and corn lords are debated | A |
Come rival even the Harlot Red | A |
And show how wholly into bread | A |
A 'Squire is transubstantiated | A |
- | |
Come Lauderdale and tell the world | A |
That surely as thy scratch is curled | A |
As never scratch was curled before | H |
Cheap eating does more harm than good | A |
And working people spoiled by food | A |
The less they eat will work the more | H |
- | |
Come Goulburn with thy glib defence | G |
Which thou'dst have made for Peter's Pence | G |
Of Church rates worthy of a halter | H |
Two pipes of port old port 'twas said | A |
By honest Newport bought and paid | A |
By Papists for the Orange Altar | H |
- | |
Come Horton with thy plan so merry | H |
For peopling Canada from Kerry | H |
Not so much rendering Ireland quiet | A |
As grafting on the dull Canadians | G |
That liveliest of earth's contagions | G |
The bull pock of Hibernian riot | A |
- | |
Come all in short ye wondrous men | E |
Of wit and wisdom come again | E |
Tho' short your absence all deplore it | A |
Oh come and show whate'er men say | G |
That you can after April Day | G |
Be just as sapient as before it | A |
