Pamphlets and Parodies on Political Subjects
Hone, William
Political satire, English
("AIR, Lanterna Magka.)
Whene'er with aching eyes I view
The troublers of the nation,
I find them one conspiring crew,--
The Bridge-street Gang--the Constitu-
tional Association--
tional Association.
Slop's venom, of high Tory blue,
The Stuart royal fashion,
In secret gave the poison to
The daggers of the Constitu-
tional Association--
tional Association.
Forth from his Slop-pail swift he flew,
In dread of moderation,
Assassins' knives to cowards threw,
And call'd the Gang the Constitu-
tional Association--
tional Association.
I, who when wild his Curses flew,
Gave him his appellation, *
Would force him into light, in du-
ty to unmask his Constitu-
tional Association--
tional Association.
Against me if his Slop-pail brew,
For that high designation,
I spurn his Slop-pail, spurn him too,
And scorn his Gang, the Constitu-
tional Association--
tional Association.
Until a fouler opportu-
nity, a filthier still occasion,
He'll empt' his dirty Slop-pail gru-
el, through his sink-hole Constitu-
tional Association. -
tional Association.
But should he shrink from public view,
Or sculk with mean evasion,
I'll lash the knave and all his crew--
Slop and his Gajjg, the Constitu-
tional Association--
tional Association.
