PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.

ST. STEPHEN’S MUSIC HALL.

TV. F. G. You think,"perhaps, I work so hard the Session I’m enjoying ?

No, no,—for Ashmead Bartlett, Wolff, and others make me frown;
And, though I’m far too great a man to find their stings annoying,

D’ you think that to Hawarden I mean to ask ’em down ?

{Spoken)—My dear Sir, it’s odd—but--

Chorus.—I’m going to do without ’em, &e., &c.

[For the other Verses and Chorus, see p. 47*

J. B. For forty years I’ve said what I meant,

Chorus {of Friends). Which is tidings of comfort and joy !

J. B. And used strong language to my heart’s content.

Chorus {of Fourth Party). Which is tidings of comfort and joy !

J. B. The flames of war I never would fan;

So, when force was the remedy, away I ran,—

For on Moral Law I differ from the Grand Old Man!

Chorus {of most Parties united). Which is tidings of comfort and joy!
