THE NAVAL REVIEW.

(Front Punch.)
Of Commons and of Peers

Sing the terrible break-down,
When on Southampton's piers,
Though invited by the Crown,
They were left, all to fume, fret, and frown
To accommodate the band
Not a tender was at hand,
And the noblest of the land
Were done brown !
"Three miles off afloat

Lay the steamers on the brine—
The hour to sail for the Review
The tickets said was nine.
But 'twas twelve that April morn by the chime
Ere they drifted on their path,
Dusty and tired to death,
And Roebuck in his wrath
Was sublime !
Even Wood himself had blusher].
To have looked upon the scene :
In the harlequin were crushed
Bishop, and Duke' and Dean !
" It's a joke," Lord Granville cried—when each gun
Heard afar, with " hip, hip, hips,"
Told the Queen had passed the ships,
And Lord Campbell's solemn lips
Said " We're done !"
Again, again,—again !
And the Transic.'s pace grew slack ;
She can't go on, 'tis plain,
'Tis a doubt if she'll go back :
Even Granville's mirth is changing into gloom,
He a boat contrives to hail,
Lest his brother Peers assail,
And consign him to the pale
Stoker's doom !
A hail the Transiteers

Tho Perseverance gave ;
" We are Commons, ye are Peers ;
But all privilege we'll waive :
Wood to grief to-morrow night let us bring;
The thing's a sell complete,
We've soon neither Queen nor fleet,
And we've nothing fit to eat--
Not a thing !"

On the Admiralty's chief
What blessings then arose,
Round tough chickens and bard beef

As Peers and Commons close !
And so they cursed their fates, and made n) way;
While folks, with no invite
From the Government, delight
In the sunshine and the sight
Of tho day !
Now the railway let us praise—
Tell how, that day and night,
The trains went wrong all ways,
And the engines stopped outright.
How from Southampton's, Portsmouth's shore,
Through the station gates there sweep
Of nobs and snobs a heap,
While some, more luckless, sleep

- -
Round the door.
Brave hearts ! 'Tis Britain's pride,
When she bungles, to outdo
All the bunglers that have tried
What mismanagement can do.
There's some excuse for all who misbehave :
Lucan, Airey—injured souls !
Called unjustly o'er the coals,
Each with bullied Wood condoles—
Let them rave !
