Robert Fleming Gourley

    There came to Oxford Robert Gourley,
    In his old age his health was poorly;
    He was a relic of the past,
    In his dotage sinking fast;
Yet he was erect and tall
Like noble ruined castle wall.
In early times they did him impeach
For demanding right of speech,
Now Oxford he wished to represent
In Canadian parliament,
But him the riding did not honor,
But elected Doctor Connor.
