 | 'Twixt Kiss and Lip or Under the Sword. By the author of "Women Must Weep," [i.e. F. W. O. Ward] Third edition |  |
A MODERN POLITICIAN.
With loud coarse voice, a coat not free from stain,A castle tall in Ireland or in—Spain,
Dangerous foe, more dangerous ally,
The slave of slander and “Adullamy,”
The fool of figures and the miser's dole,
To save a penny and to lose a soul,
A Charlatan by choice, a brute by nature,—
—Behold the hero of the Legislature!
