Whereas Lord de | B |
Left his home last Saturday | B |
And tho' inquired for round and round | C |
Thro' certain purlieus can't be found | C |
And whereas none can solve our queries | D |
As to where this virtuous Peer is | E |
Notice is hereby given that all | F |
May forthwith to inquiring fall | F |
As once the thing's well set about | G |
No doubt but we shall hunt him out | G |
- | |
His Lordship's mind of late they say | H |
Hath been in an uneasy way | H |
Himself and colleagues not being let | I |
To climb into the Cabinet | J |
To settle England's state affairs | K |
Hath much it seems unsettled theirs | K |
And chief to this stray Plenipo | L |
Hath been a most distressing blow | M |
Already certain to receive a | N |
Well paid mission to the Neva | N |
And be the bearer of kind words | O |
To tyrant Nick from Tory Lords | P |
To fit himself for free discussion | Q |
His Lordship had been learning Russian | Q |
And all so natural to him were | R |
The accents of the Northern bear | S |
That while his tones were in your ear you | T |
Might swear you were in sweet Siberia | N |
And still poor Peer to old and young | U |
He goes on raving in that tongue | U |
Tells you how much you would enjoy a | N |
Trip to Dalnodubrovrkoya | T |
Talks of such places by the score on | V |
As Oulisflirmchinagoboron | V |
And swears for he at nothing sticks | W |
That Russia swarms with Raskolniks | W |
Tho' one such Nick God knows must be | B |
A more than ample quantity | B |
- | |
Such are the marks by which to know | V |
This strayed or stolen Plenipo | L |
And whosoever brings or sends | W |
The unhappy statesman to his friends | W |
On Carlton Terrace shall have thanks | W |
And any paper but the Bank's | W |
- | |
P S Some think the disappearance | W |
Of this our diplomatic Peer hence | W |
Is for the purpose of reviewing | X |
In person what dear Mig is doing | X |
So as to 'scape all tell tale letters | W |
'Bout Beresford and such abetters | W |
The only wretches for whose aid | Y |
Letters seem not to have been made | Y |
