MISTHER SAUNDERS.
Och faix I’m glad, I am, be dad, Ther’s joy throughout the nation, Begorra sure the counthry’s cure Is now Raypudiashun ; The fools who pay their debts away, Are only geese and gandhers ; We’ve got the cue now what to do, From honest Misther Saundhers. Wnin England lint the thrifle spint In Railways an’ in Bridges, We sint our thanks through all the banks, We niver thim begridges, For thanks are chaip, we’ve got a haip To give away ; ’tis slandhers To hint that we’re in debt ye see; I’m right—Eh! Mr Saundhers ? The cash we got, in fact was not A loan sint o’er the wathcr ; ’Twas jist a gift, a loving lift Britannia gave her daughther ; It’s not the same as if it came From Jarmany or Flanders ; Our English kin won’t miss the tin ; I’m right—Eh, Misther Saundhers ? Me tchuneful muse, now don’t refuse, To sing an’ chant his story, Wid song inspire me noble liar To sound our’Saunders’ glory ; May I an’ you take dolorou, Or gout, or yallow jaundhers, When we forget the Tories’ pet Tlie mighty Misther Saundhers. —Paddy Murphy in the “ Saturday Advertiser.”
