A BEE IN HIS BONNET.
No knight that ever fought for fame, Or gave an enemy the rout, Had nobler looks or better iiiimo Than had Sir Robert Stout. With legal lore equipped and strong, And yet you may depend upon it, The man is sure to wander wrong Who's got a beo within his bonnet. His knowledge is both lcarn'd and great, Yet you may take my word upon it, His weakness is to rule the State— For that's the beo within his bonnet. He has a down on Mr Bung, And often speaks his mind upon it; But, then, we know Sir Robert's wrong— Bccauso that bee is in his bonnetSome think ho ought to Premier'bo, But the majority think better on it ; Premiers from pledges should bo free, And hare no beo within their bonnet.
