Couldn’t you stand the flattering dew, Of Duncan and his throng ? You can’t boast of lamp or fountain— What a miserable sneer ! Hark to Godley’s bronze recounting, For small people little cheer 1 Boast of your Cathedral Square, Cleared of shade, and rest, for eyes sore ? You’re the very direst Mayor For felling trees, that ever I saw ! Did yon never see the rurals, Eating dinner in the shade ? Shame I You count on voting plurals To forgive you for that raid ! Yesterday had you to travel, Many times o’er that scorched space, You’d have called on God or Devil, Gums and poplars to replace ! Lust in desperate dances drifting, Glare in eyes and blown off hat, Why should citizens be lifting Him, who lot us in for that ? All along the banks of Avon, Symptoms of your grubbiculture, Room for fierce nor’westers given. For its swoop of hungry vulture, Not in this crime base your claim, To be first man in the city. For its plain you do not aim, At keeping our complexions pretty. "What’s the other ? Barren sandhills Saved from sensible neglect ! Don’t put that boast in your handbills On the day cf the elect! Say, are you so extra moral, That you must be at the top, Like that inconvenient coral, Which the vessel’s way doth stop 1 Is a lamp a great obstruotion, To one’s progress in the dark ? Why sneer at its free construction, Or at its kind uses bark ? You can drink your wine or grog, Shaded in an easy chair. Working men can wet their prog, Standing in hot thoroughfare. When a good man builds a fountain, Thinking of his neighbour’s needs, Catching moisture from tha mountain To refresh hard labour’s feeds. You are proud of having taken Labor’s luxuries away. No one now can chaw his bacon In the shade at hot mid-day. Not a seat for weary walker From the South belt to the North! Worshipful but fruitless talker, Let him by himself go forth I Moral. There were plenty to cut the trees wiling* That stood in the Worshipful’s way ; They were sold for just ten times a shilling, So our Gladstone makes felling trees pay. 3119 Bronze.

AND who got the cold shoulder from Sir George Grey and party when he went to Wellington to ask for rights and favours for the city of Christchurch ? I know ! WHO received Sir George Grey in a fitting and gentlemanly manner when he last visited Christchurch P Why, the Sydenham Borough Council did !
