QuoteQuest“The bright old day now dawns again; the cry runs through the land,In England there shall be dear bread—in Ireland, sword and brand;And poverty, and ignorance, shall swell the rich and grand,So, rally round the rulers with the gentle iron hand,Of the fine old English Tory days;Hail to the coming time!”
