William Petty - Decent Dublinman

by

Hay Machine

William Petty

The Baron Wycombe
The second Earl of Shelburne
The Marquis of Lansdowne
His Majesty's aide-de-camp
Member for Chipping Wycombe
The Secretary of State for the Southern Department
Home Secretary
The Prime Minister of England
was a Dublin man
born and bred

He granted independence to America
a founder of the East India Company
his people established Kenmare
a decent Dublin man
(if ever there was one)

Gogarty thought Russell had it right
there is a time to fall back General
from the worst extremes
of herded wolves
