Dear Goddess of Corn whom the ancients we know	A
Among other odd whims of those comical bodies	B
Adorn'd with somniferous poppies to show	A
Thou wert always a true Country gentleman's Goddess	C
	-
Behold in his best shooting jacket before thee	D
An eloquent 'Squire who most humbly beseeches	C
Great Queen of the Mark lane if the thing doesn't bore thee	D
Thou'lt read o'er the last of his never last speeches	C
	-
Ah Ceres thou know'st not the slander and scorn	E
Now heap'd upon England's 'Squirearchy so boasted	F
Improving on Hunt 'tis no longer the Corn	E
'Tis the growers of Corn that are now alas roasted	F
	-
In speeches in books in all shapes they attack us	C
Reviewers economists fellows no doubt	G
That you my dear Ceres and Venus and Bacchus	C
And Gods of high fashion know little about	G
	-
There's B nth m whose English is all his own making	H
Who thinks just as little of settling a nation	I
As he would of smoking his pipe or of taking	H
What he himself calls his post prandial vibration	I
	-
There are two Mr M lls too whom those that love reading	H
Through all that's unreadable call very clever	J
And whreas M ll Senior makes war on good breeding	H
M ll Junio makes war on all breeding whatever	J
	-
In short my dear Goddess Old England's divided	F
Between ultra blockheads and superfine sages	C
With which of these classes we landlords have sided	F
Thou'lt find in my Speech if thou'lt read a few pages	C
	-
For therein I've prov'd to my own satisfaction	I
And that of all 'Squires I've the honour of meeting	H
That 'tis the most senseless and foul mouth'd detraction	I
To say that poor people are fond of cheap eating	H
	-
On the contrary such the chaste notions of food	K
that dwell in each pale manufacturer's heart	L
They would scorn any law be it every so good	M
That would make thee dear Goddess less dear than thou art	L
	-
And oh for Monopoly what a blest day	N
When the Land and the Silk shall in fond combination	I
Like Sulky and Silky that pair in the play	N
Cry out with one voice High Rents and Starvation	I
	-
Long life to the Minister no matter who	O
Or how dull he may be if with dignified spirit he	D
Keeps the ports shut and the people's mouth too	O
We shall all have a long run of Freddy's prosperity	D
	-
And as for myself who've like Hannibal sworn	I
To hate the whole crew who would take our rents from us	C
Had England but One to stand by thee Dear Corn	I
That last honest Uni Corn would be Sir Th m s	C
