"Who shall cleanse the filthy Thames "

Multitudes are loudly aryini;
But, while eaoli dull dreamer reams,
Hosts are sick, and some are dying.

Soon, how soon would they be flying.
"Who shall cleanse the filthy Thames,"
Board of whie•hesds sanitary?
Sure the paying public claims
You to be of their health wary.
" Who shall cleanse the filthy Thames,"
Lords and Commons arm'd with pow'r ?
What, not one of all your schemes
Can be found our mud to scour 1

Looking for the proinued draining.
"Who shall cleanse the filthy Thames!"

Not one jut will you abate us.
" Who shall cleanse the filthy Thames!"
My Lord Mayor and Corporation,

You should help, or quit your station.
"Who shall cleanse the filthy Thames?"
Lipeoutube, try a monster litter,
Else. beneath Boni melting beams,
We must pant, despair, and swelter.
