It is curious to observe how the Ministers in each House of
Parliament puff one another. Is Lord North attacked in the
House of Peers, Lord Sandwich is on his legs in an instant,
to declare, "that there never was a better first Lord of the
Treasury." Is the first Commissioner of the Admiralty
censured in the House of Commons, Lord North pronounces Lord
Sandwich to be "a most able, faithful, and diligent servant
of his King and Country."
Says Locket to Peachum, you've nothing to fear;
If they battle in front, I'll defend in the rear.
Says Peachum to Locket, I laugh at the hum,
Let me finger the pelf, they may all kiss my ---.
