Two additional verses and notes...
The court of my sovereign. Figaro.
'Mid fritters and lollipops...
'Mid Westminster's Palace.
Though crosses and candles
Up courts and round palaces
From circuit to circuit
'Midst mansions and palaces.
'Mid hardships and hovels.
Through clubdoms fair palaces
'Mid new courts and chambers
In Westminster Palaces
Though bidden to roam
Fond hearts bear its sweetness
In the Soudan desert
Though far from dear England
In joy or in sadness
Tho' rich be our portion
I pray that I reach
How many in dreams
Like bird to its nest
'Mid falsehood and fallacies
'Mid soup, fish, and entreés
'Midst mansions or cottages
'Mid gin shops or "palaces
'Mid pleasures and palaces
'Mid worry and bustle
Of all the strong drinks
In islands or continents
'Neath measures and policies
When worries and creditors
'Mid Ritualistic clergy ...
'Mid play sure sand pal aces

Here's to the maiden of bashful fifteen
A health to the nut brown lass
Here's to each Tory and Radical too
Love, you must own, is a comical thing...
Here's to the voter whose terms are fifteen
Here's to the ringman. The Globe
Easter for maidens of bashful fifteen
Here's to the man with a balance in hand
Here's to the fresher not out of his teens
Here's to the motley, mellifluous host
Smart Churchill, 'cute Chamberlain
All names of the male kind masculine call
Had I a heart for falsehood framed
Had I a pound of tender steak
This bottle's the sun of our table
Bicycle's the sun of our stable. J. G. Dalton

LORD TENNYSON'S JUBILEE ODE.
A Latin version. Blackwood's Magazine
When Canning's name was first proclaim'd
When Britain first, impell'd by pride ...
When freedom's foes mock labour's groan
When first the South, to fury fanned
When faction at the De'ils command
When Beaconsfield, at civic board. 1879
Jingoes ever will be knaves
Brickbats never will be slates

Fifty times the clown has grinned. Punch
Fifty times the lines have slipped and halted.

Fifty times our nose has twirled and tilted.
Moonshine
Fifty times seven days are past and ended. St.
