Cant All Round.
APPOINTED TO BE SUNG AT FESTIVALS OF THE PEIMEOSE LEAGUE. (With npologies to Lord Tennyson) First let uspledge-this festive night— The name of England, thongh in jest ; 'Tis customary and polite To say one loveß one's country test. But, granting "Freedom's oak" must live, 'ihe Primrose, too must have its day; Bo every true Conservative Is bound to sing this patriot lay. Oant all round 1 Fact with fallacy confound : The " o.iuso "will thrive if we but stud the land With Primrose Habitations, round and round. 'Tis true wo don't seem quite to ba Trne leaders of the land's desire ; The " Hou*e " will be more L than C ; Wo gained the borough, lost the Bhire ; Sportive invention we essayed About three acres and a cow, Erewhile such fables might have paid, But fools ara gutting scarcer now. Tet caut all round ! Fact and fallacy confound : Some day we'll win if we can fill tho land With Primrose habitations, round and round !
