The Cablegram
The Cablegram.
Carnarvon, dear, jist lind an ear
Unto yer knight's petition;
We'll have a row, ye mind me now,
About this Abolition.
They've thried to force, widout remorse,
The Supers from their stations;
Och! darlint, don't I know ye won't
Desthroy our situations.
Unless ye sind, an' put an ind—
Before it does go further—
To this vile sham, a cablegram,
Begorra I we'll have murther.Och I do make haste, that dirty baste
Sir Joolius, is goin
To lave us here—Carnarvon, dear
He ses Pm always blowin',
Because I stand to guard the land
Against the inthroduction
Av this vile Bill—I'm sure it will
Give rise to such a 'ruction.
Unless ye sind, an' put an ind—
Before it does go further—
To this vile sham, a cablegram
Begorra I we'll have murthur.
Och! Earl, avick, jist help us quick,
An' faix, I'll turn Tory,
Or soon our plains wid scarlet stains,
Will be quite red an' gory;
We're awful wild an' mighty riled,
Thin pity our condition,
Or else we'll fight to win our right,
An' conquor Abolition.
Unless ye sind, an' put an ind—
Before it does go further—
To this vile sham, a cablegram,
Begorra I we'll have murther.
