THE BROKEN BOROUGHS' LAST LAMENT;

SIGHS FOR SCHEDULE A.
EY SIR CHARLES WETHERELL, KNIGHT.

Tune—" London-bridge is broken down."

Borough-bridge is broken down,
Stock-bridge is torn from the Peers;
In Sea-ford, and Or-ford, and Camel-ford,
We are swamped over head and ears.
Corfe-castle is crumbling, Castle-rising is tumbling,
Bishop's-castle is likely to fare ill;
An old Dun-witch must die in a ditch,
And Whit-church is a church in periL
Callington is as good as gone;
Bramber is evil entreated ;
They are making sad work with Aldborough in York,
And Aldeburgh's Suffolkated.
Neither to Wareham, nor to Old Sarum,
Has this Bill been in any way civil ;
Death has opened its jaws to swallow Saint Mawes,
And Saint Michael has gone to the Devil.
Winchelsea's fate is not to win ; •
Lost.withiel is lost with its poll,
We have nothing to choose but lose both the 1,00e6,
And strike Plympton off from the Rolle.
Qucen-Borough's cashiered, and Ma'amsbury
Is a madam whom none will cherish ;
Poor old Gatton the Reformers have spat on,
Unheeded must Hedon perish.
'Tis plaguy bad fun for Okehampton,
And no better for Bletchingly ;
Yarmouth laughs wide on his mouth's wrong side,
And the tears fall fast from Eye.
Bucking-ham, and High-ham, are left not worth a d-,
They're past curing, and can't save their bacon;
Poor old Tregony's in his last agony,
Bedwin (great) to his bed hath taken.
Poor old Weobly looks very feebly ;
Hindon's last knell tolled is ;
New-ton, and New-town, are both looking down,
And New-port is as crusty as old is.
Midhurst and Ludgers-hall have lost their voters all,
If voter therein there was any ;
Wootton-Basset mortuus jacet,
Procumbit Humi Bossiney.
Wendover's web is now cut short
By this Bill, so sharp and swingeing;
They have taken the duties from Milborne-port,
Reigate they are quite unhinging.
Hazlemere looks mighty queer,
Very ill is Ilchester lying ;
Mine-head aches, and Brackley breaks,
And Steyning is a-dyeing.
Heytesbury hates the deed that is done ;
There is mourning in Woodstock's bower;
Saltash looks not sweet thereon;
Beeralston is turned sour.
Poor old Romney none now will come nigh ;
Appleby none will taste;
Poor old Fowey hath lost its joy,
And Petei'sfleld is a waste!
