The Bridge Street Committee

Jack Snipe

Eats Tripe:

It is therefore credible

That tripe is edible.

And therefore, perforce,

It follows, of course,

That the Devil will gripe

All who do not eat Tripe.





And as Nic is too slow

To fetch 'em below:[983]

And Gifford, the attorney,

Won't quicken their journey;

The Bridge-Street Committee

That colleague without pity,

To imprison and hang

Carlile and his gang,

Is the pride of the City,

And 'tis Association

That, alone, saves the Nation

From Death and Damnation.
