ON THE REFORM OF THE LATE ADMINISTRATION.
For twenty years, when out of place,
Whig Patriots bawl'd about Reforms,
And stoutly swore, that, change their case,
They'd drive the Placemen out by swarms.
Whig Patriots bawl'd about Reforms,
And stoutly swore, that, change their case,
They'd drive the Placemen out by swarms.
When in, they threaten'd gen'ral rout,
But how, good Lord! did they begin?
For ev'ry Placeman they turn'd out,
They brought ten needy Patriots in.
