John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

7591 Robert Barnabas Brough 1828-1860 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:7591
AUTHOR:Robert Barnabas Brough (1828–1860)
QUOTATION: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.
ATTRIBUTION:My Lord Tomnoddy.
