COL. ANSTRUTHER THOMSON 109 



But " Froggy," I fear, 'twill prove no go — 



"No go ! " cried Robert — 

 For you're a Tory from top to toe. 

 And for Tories in Fife we don't care a blow. 

 Chorus — With your Tory, etc. 



Then "Froggy" he put on his Sunday vest — 



" My eye I " cried Robert— 

 Until I'm returned I'll take no rest, 

 And I'll speak and I'll argue and do my best, 

 Chorus — With my Tory, etc. 



To Anster' he went in a two-horse shay — 



" Heigh ho ! " cried Robert— 

 And in the town hall he said his say 

 In an affable, chaffable sort of a way, 

 Chorus — With his Tory, etc. 



Pray, cousin Bob, are you within ? — 

 " Aye, aye ! " cried Robert — 

 " Aye, I'm at home and I mean to win : 

 If you want to get votes you'd better begin 

 Chorus — With your Tory, etc." 



" Froggy " has got both " kith and kin "— 



" Heigh-ho ! " cried Robert — 

 A brother-in-law come home from Cochin, 

 Who lived in a cage, and who's backed him to win. 

 Chorus — With his Tory, etc. 



But " Froggy," my mannie, just hide your "heid "— 



" Heigh ho I " cried Robert— 

 For the man the electors of Fifeshire need 

 Is the lad that has given your knightship a lead, 



Chorus — With no Tory talkee, gammon and spinage : 

 " Whoo-whoop ! " cried Anstruther Thomson ! 



HOW FROGGY'S WOOING SPED. 



A Sequel. 



" Frog's" progress thenceforward was weary and sad — 

 " Heigh ho ! " cried Robert— 



An' aince on his journey he met wi' a Rad : 



Quoth he, " How d'ye feel," said puir " Frog," " Awfie bad,' 

 Chorus~Wi' my Tory talkee, gammon and spinage : 

 " Yoick, Yoick I " cried Anstruther Thomson.
