Additional quotes by James Bramston

So Britain’s monarch once uncovered sat,
While Bradshaw bullied in a broad-brimmed hat.

But Titus said, with his uncommon sense,
When the Exclusion Bill was in suspense:
"I hear a lion in the lobby roar;
Say, Mr. Speaker, shall we shut the door
And keep him there, or shall we let him in
To try if we can turn him out again?"
