will deal in programmes with thee, or in eloquence, or in epigram; I will
bandy with thee in faction; I will o'errun thee with policy; I will "mend
thee or end thee" a hundred and fifty ways; therefore, tremble, and depart!

SONG (_behind_).

It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
That o'er the stubble fields did pass
(Together WILL caught 'em).
In the time of autumn,
When M.P.'s spout, and "manoeuvre" about;
M.P.'s (who are "out") love autumn.

About three acres and a cow,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino;
The artful country folks know now.
In the time of autumn, &c.

Since that the franchise was their dower,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
The Country Voters are a power.
In the time of autumn, &c.

And, therefore, at the present time,
With "an Agricultural Policy"--funny, ho!--
_Both_ Parties simple HODGE would lime,
In the time of autumn, &c.

_Will._ (_aside_). Truly, though there is no great matter in the ditty, yet
