The Spirit of the Nation/Epigram (8)

by Black Northern (Charles Gavan Duffy)

EPIGRAM.

Newell's new patent washing ball,
If Times and Morning Post say true,
"Will draw out any stain at all,
And leave the fabric good as new."
Oh, if this boast be not a hum,
What wonders quickly will be seen,
For turn-coat B—gh—m will purchase some,
And wash his reputation clean.
