LXX.

Lord Henry was a great electioneerer,

Burrowing for boroughs like a rat or rabbit.

But county contests cost him rather dearer,

Because the neighbouring Scotch Earl of Giftgabbit

Had English influence, in the self-same sphere here;

His son, the Honourable Dick Dicedrabbit,

Was member for the "other interest" (meaning

The same self-interest, with a different leaning).
