Robert Barnabas Brough quotes

My Lord Tomnoddy is thirty-four; The Earl can last but a few years more. My Lord in the Peers will take his place: Her Majesty's councils his words will grace. Office he'll hold and patronage sway; Fortunes and lives he will vote away; And what are his qualifications?-ONE! He's the Earl of Fitzdotterel's eldest son. (Robert Barnabas Brough)
