This is the Radical Bradlaugh,
These are electors sturdy and strong,
Who greet him with hearty and welcoming song,
Hurrah for the Radical Bradlaugh!
This is the struggle of Right against Wrong,
Thrice won by electors sturdy and strong,
Who lustily echoed the welcoming song,
Hurrah for the Radical Bradlaugh!

These are the people in whom we must trust
To raise us our liberty out of the dust,
To strive and diminish the deep-lying shame
That now is affixed to the Englishman’s fame,
To kick out the bigots so sorely dismayed
And stop all the cowardly tricks of their trade,
To fight in the battle of Right against Wrong,
And aid the electors sturdy and strong,
Who lustily echoed the welcoming song
To get justice for Radical Bradlaugh.
D. EVANS.

THE FACE THAT ART MADE.
This is the Face that Art made!
This is the rouge for the modest blush,
That is stippled on with a hare’s-foot brush,
On the Maiden’s Face that Art made!
This is the _Blanc de Perle_ in paste
That imparts a background purely chaste,
For the _Rouge_ that makes the modest blush,
That is stippled on with the hare’s-foot brush!
On the Maiden’s Face that Art made!
This is the _Grenadine_ that tips
With a cherry red the pouting lips,
To suit the _Blanc de Perle_ in paste,
That imparts a background wholly chaste,
For the _Rouge_ that makes the modest blush,
That is stippled on with a hare’s-foot brush!
On the Maiden’s Face that Art made!
This is the _Eau de Violette_
(Price 6s. 6d.), the mouth to wet,
When the _Grenadine_ so sweetly tips
With cherry red the pouting lips,
To suit the _Blanc de Perle_ in paste, &c.
On the Maiden’s Face that Art made!
