WHAT'S MY THOUGHT LIKE? by THOMAS MOORE

First Line: WHY IS A PUMP LIKE VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGH?
Last Line: IN ONE WEAK, WASHY, EVERLASTING FLOOD!
Subject(s): STEWART, ROBERT. 2D MARQUIS LONDONDERRY; CASTLEREAGH, VISCOUNT;

@3Quest@1. Why is a Pump like V -- sc -- nt C -- stl -- r -- gh?
@3Answ@1. Because it is a slender thing of wood,
That up and down its awkward arm doth sway,
And coolly spout and spout and spout away,
In one weak, washy, everlasting flood!
