Rh That she'd discard her fav'rite owl,

And take for pet a brother fowl,

Sagacious R. C. Dallas. [First published, Life, Writings, Opinions, etc., 1825, ii. 192.]

well done Lord E——n! and better done R——r!

Britannia must prosper with councils like yours;

Hawkesbury, Harrowby, help you to guide her,

Whose remedy only must kill ere it cures:

Asking some succour for Charity's sake—

So hang them in clusters round each Manufactory,

That will at once put an end to mistake.
