Where Will Sir Julius Go
The Colonial Treasurer has brains, There's no mistake about it ; And yet he takes infinite pains To prove himself without it ! But where, I wonder, will he j»o If hurled from out his nest ? Will he, with heart brimful of woe, Decide his talents to invest Upon some distant foreign strand, Where, striving still for power, He'll blind men's eyes agaiu with sand For one brief passing hour ? His character for great finance Does not prevent disaster, And men still view his strategies With mild, derisive laughter. Alas ! alas 1 the Government is deadIts sins and schemes are past ; Consign them to their bed, We're freed from them at last !
