Of all the misfortunes as yet brought to pass	A
By this comet like Bill with its long tail of speeches	B
The saddest and worst is the schism which alas	A
It has caused between Wetherel's waistcoat and breeches	A
	-
Some symptoms of this Anti Union propensity	C
Had oft broken out in that quarter before	D
But the breach since the Bill has attained such immensity	C
Daniel himself could have scarce wisht it more	D
	-
Oh haste to repair it ye friends of good order	E
Ye Atwoods and Wynns ere the moment is past	C
Who can doubt that we tread upon Anarchy's border	E
When the ties that should hold men are loosening so fast	C
	-
Make Wetherel yield to some sort of Reform	F
As we all must God help us with very wry faces	A
And loud as he likes let him bluster and storm	F
About Corporate Rights so he'll only wear braces	A
	-
Should those he now sports have been long in possession	G
And like his own borough the worse for the wear	H
Advise him at least as a prudent concession	G
To Intellect's progress to buy a new pair	H
	-
Oh who that e'er saw him when vocal he stands	A
With a look something midway 'twixt Filch's and Lockit's	A
While still to inspire him his deeply thrust hands	A
Keep jingling the rhino in both breeches pockets	A
	-
Who that ever has listened thro' groan and thro' cough	I
To the speeches inspired by this music of pence	A
But must grieve that there's any thing like falling off	J
In that great nether source of his wit and his sense	A
	-
Who that knows how he lookt when with grace debonair	H
He began first to court rather late in the season	G
Or when less fastidious he sat in the chair	H
Of his old friend the Nottingham Goddess of Reason	G
	-
That Goddess whose borough like virtue attracted	C
All mongers in both wares to proffer their love	K
Whose chair like the stool of the Pythoness acted	C
As Wetherel's rants ever since go to prove	L
	-
Who in short would not grieve if a man of his graces	A
Should go on rejecting unwarned by the past	C
The moderate Reform of a pair of new braces	A
Till some day he'll all fall to pieces at last	C
