WITTY MAGEE.

Air—“ Widow Machree.”

“ Every abuse is a weakness to the Establishment,
and that is why the Church’s enemies desire to
perpetuate abuses in the Church. . . . The cham-
pions of the abuses are not Churchmen, but the
more earnest members of Nonconformity in the
House of Commons. . . . Her Majesty's Govern-
ment certainly dare not support this measure, be-
cause they dare not irritate their great backbone
(the Dissenters). . . . Those who are opposed to

the reform of the Church are not the Churchmen,
but the Political,. Dissenters.”—The bishop of
Peterborough on the Cathedrals Statutes Bill.

Wittv Magee, on the Commons yon frown ;

Och hone! Witty Magee.

On your Church all its dirthy Dissenters are
down ;

Och hone! Witty Magee.

How altered your air,

When that black phiz you wear,

E’en your wit’s sour and spare,

Which should be flowing free.

A shillelagh why twirl,

Like a commonplace churl Y
Och hone! Witty Magee.

Witty Magee, sunny Summer is come,

Och hone ! Witty Magee.

When everything smiles, should a Bishop
look glum ?

Och hone I Witty Magee.

Soon the season of “ pairs ”

Will bring halcyon airs,

E’en St. Stephen’s rough hears
Seem inclined to agree.

The Fourth Party’s small fish
Can’t “ raise Cain,” though they wish.
Och hone ! Witty Magee.

Witty Magee, when mild Peace would step in,
Och hone! Witty Magee.

To be poking strife’s fire all alone seems a sin,
Och hone 1 Wittv Magee.

Sure, we’re sick of Church wrongs,
Endless hammer and tongs ;

Pot and Kettle sing songs
Full of family glee ;

Yet alone, with keen tongue,

You have flouted and stung,

Och hone! Witty Magee.

And do you not know, with your eloquent
pother,

Och hone ! Witty Magee,

You hinder, not help, each right reverend
brother ?

Och hone ! Witty Magee.

Whose satirical tone
Irritates like your own
That “ Dissenting back-bone ”

Named by W. Gr. ?

Till, with heartier wills,

Rads will strangle Church Bills,

Och hone! Witty Magee.

Take Punch's advice, witty Bishop Magee,
Och hone! Witty Magee,

It’s very much best to let sleeping dogs be,
Och hone! Witty Magee.

Suppress the desire
To he poking the fire
Of Sectarian ire,

And you ’ll probably see
All the “ bogies ” depart
From the Church of your heart,

Och hone! Witty Magee.
