	THE OLD STUFF IS HERE IN US STILL. The old stuff is here in us still, Whatever those fools may be prating; They'll not touch us, say what they will, However our greatness they're hating; Let them rail; perhaps they'll just make us growl, Though a growl it's scarce well to be wasting; If they wake us up, lord ! how they'll howl, A bit of our old temper, tasting. John Bull fat with plenty has grown, Fat and, all may see, easy and iazy; But they who won't leave him alone, Why, I tell them at once that they're crazy ; There's the muzzle that held on of old, That can hold on as long still at present; And those teeth, if they do grip, I'm told, Will clench in a way that's not pleasant. 5—2
