Poem A Day

Bowles and Campbell

by George Gordon, Lord Byron

To the air of "How now, Madam Flirt," in the _Beggar's Opera_.

BOWLES.

"WHY, how now, saucy Tom?

If you thus must ramble,

I will publish some

Remarks on Mister Campbell.

Saucy Tom!"

CAMPBELL.

"WHY, how now, Billy Bowles?

Sure the priest is maudlin!

(_To the public_) How can you, d--n your souls!

Listen to his twaddling?

_Billy Bowles_!"
