That back the Public Informer, who Would put down the _Thing_, that, in spite of new Acts, And attempts to restrain it, by Soldiers or Tax, Will _poison_ the Vermin, that plunder the Wealth, That lay in the House, that Jack built. {018} [Illustration: 026] This is THE DOCTOR of _Circular_ fame, A Driv'ller, a Bigot, a Knave without shame: {019} And _that's_ DERRY DOWN TRIANGLE by name, From the Land of misrule, and half-hanging, and flame: And _that_ is THE SPOUTER OF FROTH BY THE HOUR, The worthless colleague of their infamous power: W ho dubb'd _him_ 'the Doctor' whom now he calls 'brother,' And, to get at his Place, took a shot at the other; Who haunts their _Bad House_, a base living to earn, By playing Jack-pudding, and Ruffian, in turn; Who bullies, for those whom he bullied before; Their _Flash_-man, their Bravo, a son of a --------; The hate of the People, all tatter'd and torn, Who curse the day wherein they were born, On account of Taxation too great to be borne, And pray for relief from night to morn; {020} Who, in vain, petition in every form: Who peaceably Meeting to ask for Reform, Were sabred by Yeomanry Cavalry, who Were thank'd by THE MAN, all shaven and shorn, All cover'd with Orders-- and all forlorn; THE DANDY OF SIXTY, who bows with a grace, And has _taste_ in wigs, collars, cuirasses and lace: Who to tricksters and fools, leaves the State and its treasure, And, when Britain's in tears, sails about at his pleasure: Who spurn'd from his presence the Friends of his youth, And now has not one who will tell him the truth; Who took to his counsels, in evil hour, The Friends to the Reasons of lawless Power; That back the Public Informer, who Would put down the _Thing_, that, inspite of new Acts, And attempts to restrain it, by Soldiers or Tax, Will _poison_ the Vermin, that plunder the Wealth That lay in the House, that Jack built. {021} [Illustration: 029] This WORD is the Watchword-- the talisman word, That the WATERLOO-MAN's to crush with his sword; {022} But, if shielded by Norfolk and Bedford's alliance, It will set both his sword, and him at defiance;
