[Precious—good manners! for indeed]
[Bland with the great, and cool with the small]
[Some are so highly polish'd, they display]
[French-polishing manners your trade is]
[Democracy may]
[Mean is the man (so John Bull thinks)]
[Old England is the only place]
[Not men and women in an Irish street]
[The Scotchman is the noblest thing created.]
[An Englishman has a country]
[Contempt, frivolity]
[While we ourselves are seeing and thinking]
[To think all you say, is but candour]
[One thing I very much admire—]
[Say fifty fine things; then let fall]
[Go where you're expected—]
[“Vile money!” True. Let's have enough]
[Who speaks to a crowd]
[I dreamt I went to hell one night.]
[Intolerance may be, no doubt]
[So tangled are we, take any man]
[The wise must keep open their eyes]
[Clothes will not warm a shape of stone or wood]
Sportsman.
[All stupid folk are self-complacent too]
[No matter how you think, and but little how you act]
[A blunder of the high-refined—]
[Democrat—Aristocrat—]
[Would you treat all you meet as brothers and sisters?]
[You'll hear a Tiger growl]
[With women and men of all natures and stations]
[Society's pretence and prejudice]

“
All
the blue of the sky in your carpet-bag
?—tush!
Don't I carry it all on the tip of my brush?
There—atoms of dust! Here—visions of glory!
I mean, you don't tell us the whole of the story.”
