FINANCIAL FOOLING.
Alas, poor England haggled o'er by Labouchere,Who would it were the market's whining slave,
To sell our honour for a whim or shabby share,
And plant potatoes on his country's grave!
To do subtraction sums, disgrace to schooling,
And drag in dirt a lofty Senate down,
While gagging business with financial fooling,
To skimp with greedy hand a Royal gown?
