Instead of the Song at page 54

Listen in the reader

Bear, Oh, bear me, of a sudden, Some kind stroke of smiling chance, From this land of beef and pudding, To dear Italy, or France. I'm sick to the soul; Politics and sea-coal, Have given me the vapours; Their cursed newspapers, Their robbing, Stock-jobbing, Are horrors to me: I wish the whole island was sunk in the sea.
