| Brimstone hall September | B |
| - | |
| Private Lord Belzebub presents | C |
| To the Brunswick Club his compliments | D |
| And much regrets to say that he | A |
| Can not at present their Patron be | A |
| In stating this Lord Belzebub | A |
| Assures on his honor the Brunswick Club | A |
| That 'tisn't from any lukewarm lack | E |
| Of zeal or fire he thus holds back | E |
| As even Lord Coal himself is not | F |
| For the Orange party more red hot | F |
| But the truth is still their Club affords | G |
| A somewhat decenter show of Lords | G |
| And on its list of members gets | H |
| A few less rubbishy Baronets | I |
| Lord Belzebub must beg to be | A |
| Excused from keeping such company | A |
| - | |
| Who the devil he humbly begs to know | J |
| Are Lord Glandine and Lord Dunlo | K |
| Or who with a grain of sense would go | J |
| To sit and be bored by Lord Mayo | J |
| What living creature except his nurse | L |
| For Lord Mountcashel cares a curse | L |
| Or think 'twould matter if Lord Muskerry | B |
| Were 'tother side of the Stygian ferry | B |
| Breathes there a man in Dublin town | M |
| Who'd give but half of half a crown | M |
| To save from drowning my Lord Rathdowne | M |
| Or who wouldn't also gladly hustle in | M |
| Lords Roden Bandon Cole and Jocelyn | M |
| In short tho' from his tenderest years | N |
| Accustomed to all sorts of Peers | N |
| Lord Belzebub much questions whether | B |
| He ever yet saw mixt together | B |
| As 'twere in one capacious tub | A |
| Such a mess of noble silly bub | A |
| As the twenty Peers of the Brunswick Club | A |
| 'Tis therefore impossible that Lord B | B |
| Could stoop to such society | B |
| Thinking he owns tho' no great prig | O |
| For one in his station 'twere infra dig | O |
| But he begs to propose in the interim | P |
| Till they find some properer Peers for him | Q |
| His Highness of Cumberland as Sub | A |
| To take his place at the Brunswick Club | A |
| Begging meanwhile himself to dub | A |
| Their obedient servant | R |
| BELZEBUB | A |

| It luckily happens the Royal Duke | S |
| Resembles so much in air and look | T |
| The head of the Belzebub family | B |
| That few can any difference see | B |
| Which makes him of course the better suit | U |
| To serve as Lord B 's substitute | U |
