A poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The Bridge Street Committee

________________________________________________
Title:     The Bridge Street Committee
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge [More Titles by Coleridge]

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:
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.


[The end]
Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem: Bridge Street Committee
