Universal suffrage will never, never do, So experience tells me--and I tell you. It would break down the barriers of our Constitution, And plunge both high and low in cut-throat revolution. You see, in the murder of the Constable Birch, The means they’d employ to destroy King and Church. The King is the head--the constable the hand-- For preserving peace and order in this happy land. They who’d cut off the hand, would cut off the head-- So, a word to the wise; remember what’s said In the plain, honest Book Of your humble servant, /Cooke/. SAVERY AND NEWCOMEN, INVENTORS When a commission was sent by the Parliament to search Raglan Castle for arms, a jet of water was sent pouring over them in a way to them extraordinary. It was from a steam-propelled fountain, invented and executed by Edward Somerset, Lord Herbert, the son of the Marquess of Worcester. In 1646 the castle stood a siege from the Parliamentarians, under Sir Trevor Williams and Colonel Morgan, and finally under Sir Thomas Fairfax. It surrendered on 17 August. No sooner was the castle abandoned than the lead and timber of the roofs were carried off for the rebuilding of Bristol Bridge, and the peasantry of the neighbourhood began to dig in the moats, drain the fish-ponds, and tear down the walls in quest of treasures supposed to be concealed there, and to rip up pipes, and pull to pieces lead and iron work to appropriate the metal. Then it was that Lord Herbert’s steam fountain was destroyed.
