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. + 
