Begone Joe Hume, I pr’ythee begone from me ; Begone Hal Brough’m You and we shall never agree. Long time have you been chattering lads. And would Corruption kill ; But i’faith Joe and Hal > You never shall have your will. Too much Brough’m, Will make a young Tory sad ; And too much Hume, Will drive an old Minister mad. So Peel shall whistle, and Wellington sing, (see platej And the Borough men merrily play 5 And the Bishops shall dance a quadrille with the King, And drive the Reformers away. SONG.—Around the old church may be sung afterwards. Tune.—“ Ere around the huge oak. Abound the old Church, in whose shadow we sit. The Reformers have dared to combine: They talk of Corruption; assail us with wit; And sneer at our title divine. Our fathers bequeathed to their children good things. And we have enjoyed them with glee : Then we will preserve them unblushing with shame. And they still from Reform shall be free.
