Wanted: a Chieftain whose qualification
Is not quite a question of civilization.

For he may belong to a barbarous nation,
Or e'en be a black from a cotton plantation.

There'll be neither trial or examination,
And nothing to pay, and no time of probation.

He will not be asked for a recommendation,
Or whether he has or has not education.

And should he apply, then, without hesitation,
He'll straight be elected to this situation,
And so will receive formal ratification,
Which all must agree will be great consolation.

Which all must agree will be great consolation,
(Joyfully) And likewise a source of much gratification,
A source of consid'rable gratification,
Of gratifi- gratification;

He'll at once be elected to this situation,
And then his appointment receive confirmation,
Which all must agree will be great consolation,
And likewise a source of great gratification,
Which all must agree will be great consolation,
And likewise a source of great gratification,
Of sweet consolation and gartification, Of gratifi-, gratification;
He'll straight be elected to this situation,
And then his appointment receive confirmation,
Which all must agree will be great consolation,
And likewise a source of great gratification,
A source of much gratification.

Would Madam deign to hear the case as put
By our Attorney General Pedro Gomez?

Pedro, advance.

My lady, if all here
Beg, nay insist upon, a consultation -
Six shillings and eight pennyworth, we'll say,
Of sound opinion - (all assent) - I am theirs, and yours.
