THE NEW JOHN GILPIN.
(From Punch.)

SHOWING HOW PEEL WENT FURTHER THAN
HE INTENDED, AND CAME SAFE HOME
AGAIN.

Sir Robert Peel was a Minister
Of credit and renown ;
And, eke, by virtue of his place,
Adviser'oz the Crown.
Now RICHARD COBDEN said to him,
" Protected Corn has been
Thro' thrice ten tedious years, since eight-
Teen hundred and fifteen.
" Yet landlords and eke tenants say
Of profits they despair ;
Despite Protection, growing corn
Is a losing affair.
" There's Mr. BRIGHT, and there's myself,
And Mr. Fox—make three ;
We've raised a League, and you must ride
(As BEN says) after we."
Said PEEL, " Your doctrines I admire,
But I am only one ' •
Still, if the Duke will stick to me,
I'll try what can be done.
" I am a Premier stout and bold,
As all my party know ;
And my good friends in Manchester
Will lend their horse to go."
Now see him in his new Tariff,
On Free Trade—noble steed !
Full slowly taking duties off,
With caution and good heed.
Then came the blight, and fears arose
We'd not have food to eat,
Free Trade, from walking, 'gan to trot,
Which shook PEEL in his seat.
" Fairly and softly," PEEL he cried,
But PEEL he cried in vain ;
The trot became a gallop soon,
And Free Trade flew amain.
Then giving up, as needs he must
Who cannot help his plight,
PEEL seized Free Trade, and like a shot
Flew past Protection quite.
Free Trade, who by a Tory lord
Had ne'er been cross'd before,
What thing upon his back had got
Did wonder more and more,
Away went ROBERT—neck or nought,
Past Radical and Whig ;
He little thought when he begun
His bill would be so big.
The Post did bark, the Herald scream'd
Out spoke the farmers all,
And every Duke cried out " For shame!"
As loud as he could bawl.
Away went Robert ! Who but he ?
Free Trade, still gaining ground,
He carries weight—he'll win his race,
His horse's wind is sound.
Still, as Division-day drew near
'Tomas wonderful to view
How overboard the men in place
Their old convictions threw.
Thro' manufactures of all kinds
His gambols he did play,
And came to Corn-laws at the last,
Which stood dead in the way.
The sliding-scale be knock'd about
Unto his friends' dismay,
And fix'd how that at three years' end
The tax should die away.
Free Trade, not satisfied at all
To wait for three years more,
Straight gallopp'd off with all his might,
As he had done before.
Away went Robert, with the League
Still thundering at his heel,
Insisting loud in total and
Immediate repeal.
The county Members in the House,
Thus seeing Robert fly,
With Lord John Russell in his rear,
Set up a hue and cry :
" Stop thief ! Stop thief ! a highway man :"
Not one of them was mute,
And Ben Disraeli and Colquhoun
Did join in the pursuit.
In the " Protection" heavy coach,
The Upper House gave chase ;
But Free Trade's bottom, bone, and wind,
Made it a hopeless race.
The race is run, the race is won
With credit and renown ;
Nor did Free Trade draw breath until
The Corn-laws he ran down.
Now let us sing Long live the League,
And Cobden, long live he ;
And when Peel next doth ride Free Trade,
May Punch his Laureat be.
