Oh have you heard what hapt of lateA
If not come lend an earB
While sad I state the piteous fateA
Of the Reverend PamphleteerC
-
All praised his skilful jockeyshipD
Loud rung the Tory cheerC
While away away with spur and whipD
Went the Reverend PamphleteerC
-
The nag he rode how could it errE
'Twas the same that took last yearC
That wonderful jump to ExeterF
With the Reverend PamphleteerC
-
Set a beggar on horseback wise men sayG
The course he will take is clearC
And in that direction lay the wayG
Of the Reverend PamphleteerC
-
Stop stop said Truth but vain her cryH
Left far away in the rearC
She heard but the usual gay Good byH
From her faithless PamphleteerC
-
You may talk of the jumps of Homer's godsI
When cantering o'er our sphereC
I'd back for a bounce 'gainst any oddsI
This Reverend PamphleteerC
-
But ah what tumbles a jockey hathJ
In the midst of his careerC
A file of the Times lay right in the pathJ
Of the headlong PamphleteerC
-
Whether he tript or shyed thereatA
Doth not so clear appearC
But down he came as his sermons flatA
This Reverend PamphleteerC
-
Lord King himself could scarce desireF
To see a spiritual PeerC
Fall much more dead in the dirt and mireK
Than did this PamphleteerC
-
Yet pitying parsons many a dayA
Shall visit his silent bierB
And thinking the while of Stanhope sayA
Poor dear old PamphleteerC
-
He has finisht at last his busy spanL
And now lies coolly hereB
As often he did in life good manL
Good Reverend PamphleteerC
