- (continued from previous page)He can suffer no traitors, detractors or cheaters
If e'er he meets Breaky he will him surprise
That grim looking churl from his car he will furl
That big bellied glutton by him shall he "tore"
Let every bad member beware and remember
And keep at a distance from Tennyson's boarHe's rude and falacious, he's quick and sagacious
He's like the cow "Brownie" he leads by the nose
All black Presbyterians and strange Hanoverians
Just keep at a distance whenever he goes
He seems to give notice to peelers and "polis"
To them Farnadowney as he hates them fullsore
The castle informer at dunghill presager who
Disturbs the quiet ambit of Tennyson's boarTo remark this quadrupid you'll find him not stupid
He feels for his country he knows there's a king
And yet no persuasion on any occasion
Would make him to suffer a parliament ring
No peeler dares venture their town for to enter
I'm sure if they do, they'll do it no more
He will lacerate them and some say he'll eat them
I'll have them beware of this terrible boar(continues on next page)
