TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMESA
-
Sir Having just heard of the wonderful resurrection of Mr Roger Dodsworth from under an avalanche where he had remained bien frappe it seems for the last years I hasten to impart to you a few reflections on the subject Yours etcB
-
Laudator Temporis ActiC
-
-
What a lucky turn up just as Eldon's withdrawingD
To find thus a gentleman frozen in the yearE
Sixteen hundred and sixty who only wants thawingD
To serve for our times quite as well as the PeerE
-
To bring thus to light not the Wisdom aloneF
Of our Ancestors such as 'tis found on our shelvesG
But in perfect condition full wigged and full grownF
To shovel up one of those wise bucks themselvesG
-
Oh thaw Mr Dodsworth and send him safe homeH
Let him learn nothing useful or new on the wayI
With his wisdom kept snug from the light let him comeJ
And our Tories will hail him with Hear and HurrahK
-
What a God send to them a good obsolete manL
Who has never of Locke or Voltaire been a readerM
Oh thaw Mr Dodsworth as fast as you canL
And the Lonsdales and Hertfords shall choose him for leaderM
-
Yes Sleeper of Ages thou shalt be their chosenN
And deeply with thee will they sorrow good menO
To think that all Europe has since thou wert frozenN
So altered thou hardly wilt know it againO
-
And Eldon will weep o'er each sad innovationN
Such oceans of tears thou wilt fancy that heP
Has been also laid up in a long congelationN
And is only now thawing dear Roger like theeP
