"PER DAMNA, PER CÆDES," PERAMBULATOR.
Reading edition
[See Mr. Asquith's Speech on the "Temperance" demonstration.]
When Trafalgar Square is with human geese full, And fiercely fights the daft declamator, Undisturbed the nursemaid can push the peaceful Perambulator. The wild teetotaller hurts not her, Nor does the publican's justificator. Unharmed she can push the peaceful Per- ambulator. The Working Man, whether true or sham, Whether honest worker, or rough spectator, Leaves her to push the peaceful Peram- bulator. Though in hostile faces and chests he ram beau— Tiful bright banners, the demonstrator Still lets her push the peaceful Perambu- lator. Thus always, whoever may block the way, Though bones be broken and skulls be sore May she push the peaceful Perambula- tor.
"Still a Non Est Man!"—J-b-z Sp-nc-r B-lf-r.
To Mr. John Davitt.
(On his Maiden Speech in the House.)
"O si sic omnes!"
Surely sincerer speaker never talked! Surely a purer patriot never walked! Surely a fairer fighter never took field! The man who heard your speech on Ireland's cause Without warm sympathy, and frank applause, Must be a—Brookfield!
