Reading edition

(Suggested by a Passage in the new Q. R.)

"Canning did not know that tadpoles Turn to frogs." Each fool explodes: But that Queller of the Yelpers Knew that patriots turn to toads. Gladstone goes in for omniscience; Does the team obey the bit As when Pam's whip stung with banter, Or when Canning's cut with wit? William! Punch, who likes you, counsels— Mix some humour with your zeal, Making humbugs think is hopeless: Be content to make them feel.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
