Why and when were we driven to moot it!
' Was it knocked oft in an afternoon!
Will the Roman-Catholic Bishops hoot it!
Have we set it afloat too late f —too soon !
Did we try it because we feared a Rounder
No matter Since still we reign supreme,
, Admitting that nothing simpler, sounder,
Have we ever turned out than," My Scheme, my

I will not my that it 's
For caption. critics may find it tame;
I will not style its provisions enticing,
Nay, more, 11l grant that they're somewhat lame.
But still, when they hint we 're near capsizing,
And our party "split" is the common theme,
For a bit of superior temporising,
There's nothing to touch, " My Scheme, my Scheme !"
I own that a Bill should be pleasing, plastic,
And make for the moment • decent show;
And you ask if this is at all "elastic,—
And I answer, " Wouldn't you like to know r
So with that, and the hint "Catch • weasel sleeping !"
Whatever may belyour Party dream,
Be sure that oillos is still worth the keeping,
Though it cost us such shifts as, " My Scheme, my
