Like tiger fierce, at bay Braunhart stood,
And he beloved Mr.. speaker !" But he could
Not get in his little oar, his wrath high

And he wrapped bis toga round him as he tore
Up the aisle, and then down, much like circus
When the Speaker, all ahame, taking in his little
game,
Said, . Mr. whats-your name, seize this aspirant
This disturbing piece Of brag-and put him in the
bag
For to taye the Legislature from 'going up the
see it's my plain duty to stop this Braunhart
