				O Rockhound, Rockhound, wherefore art thou Rockhound?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		O Rockhound, Rockhound, wherefore art thou Rockhound? 
Deny thy moderator and refuse thy name. 
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my friend 
And I’ll no longer be a Conservative 
‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy: 
Thou art thyself, though not a Progressive. 
What’s Conservatism? It is nor hand nor foot 
Nor arm nor face nor any other part 
Belonging to a man. O be some other name. 
What’s in a name? That which we call a plug 
By any other name would smell like eel; 
So Rockhound would, were he not Rockhound call’d, 
Retain that dear perfection which he owes 
Without that title. Rockhound, doff thy name, 
And for that name, which is no part of thee, 
Take all myself.
