But we have reason to suspect that this subscription pines, And is about as profitable as his Cornish mines; So a begging he will go, will go, will go, so a begging he will go. And next, lest any class of crime, unhonour'd, should escape, The tender Waithman recommends the case of Mr. Snape; And a begging he does go, does go, does go, and a begging he does go. We know not whether Brougham has yet subscribed, but think he must, The crime being only forgery--a petty breach of trust; So a begging they will go, will go, will go, so a begging they will go. When Captain Romeo ran away from Naples, in a funk, With nothing but a pound of maccaroni in his trunk, A begging he did go, did go, did go, a begging he did go. To keep this pilot of the cause of Italy afloat, Enthusiast Bennett's generous hand subscribes--a one-pound note! And a begging he did go, did go, did go, and a begging he did go. We have not breath to spend on all the vicious or the vile-- On Wooler, Watson, Waddington, Hunt, Honey, and Carlile, But a begging they all go, all go, all go, but a begging they all go. From all the jails, in all the land, their begging-boxes spread, And e'en the grave, at Faction's call, delivers up its dead; And a begging they do go, do go, do go, and a begging they do go. But lastly comes a beggar-man, who would be knighthood's shame, But that the title he assumes is only a false name; When a begging he does go, does go, does go, when a begging he does go. The soldier, or the sailor, who accosts one in the street, Can shew the scars he got, or tell the enemy he beat; When a begging he does go, does go, does go, when a begging he does go. But here's a bold impostor, the sauciest of the batch, Who never won a fight at all, and never got a scratch; Yet a begging he does go, does go, does go, and a begging he does go. He has not dealt in blows and blood as silly people think, But is a very hero,--in the way of pen and ink; But a begging he does go, does go, does go, but a begging he does go. And thus he can produce us, of the battles he has seen, Certificates on paper--having none upon his skin, When a begging he does go, does go, does go, when a begging he does go. While other soldiers Paris took, and France at freedom set, This rival hero storm'd a jail, and rescued Lavalette. And a begging he did go, did go, did go, and a begging he did go.
