THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT.

This is Reform that lay in the
House that Jack Built.

This is the Bat that hates
Reform, &c.


This is old Glad, that quietly sat,
and heard the Rat, pitch into
Reform, &c.

This is Britannia a-dolng her
This is Lord Grosyenor worrying best, for the poor old Cow
Glad, as he quietly sat, by the with the Binderpest, put off
side of the Rat, &c. for the Dogs, &c.

This is the Man with his Seven
Pound Test, a-wishing Britannia
to do her best, for him, and the
rest, put off, <Sc.

This is John Bright, and here is the Jest. He

WOULD MARRY THE MAN WITH HIS SEVEN POUND

Test, to Britannia who wished they would

LEAVE HER AT REST, &C.

This is bold Hobsman, a bit of a Pest,

WHO CROWED OVER BRIGHT AND HIS WON-
DERFUL Jest, for marrying the Man with
his Seven-pound Test, <fcc.

This is John Bull, and it must be confessed, he

LOOKS UPON HORSMAN AND ALL THE REST, INCLUDING
J. B. AS A BIT OF A PEST J AND AS FOR THE LODGERS,

and Seven Pound Test, he thinks that Britannia

IS DOING HER BEST, TO PUT DOWN THE DOGS, WHO ARE
worrying Glad, &c.
