PC in the Old Days

[Billhook]

Just found this at the bottom of a drawer of ancient papers from the 19th century while reorganising the office.

They certainly had freedom of speech and expression in those days!

 

"Here's to the glorious, pious and immortal memory of the great and good King William III, Prince of Orange, who saved us from rogues and roguery, slaves and slavery, knaves and knavery, Popes and Popery, brass money and wooden shoes.

 

And whoever denies this toast may he be slammed, crammed and jammed into the muzzle of the great gun of Athlone, and the gun fired into the Pope's belly, and the Pope into the Devil's belly, and the Devil into Hell, and the door locked, and the key in an Orangeman's pocket, and may we never lack a brisk Protestant boy to kick the arse of a Papist,

 

and here's a fart for the Bishop of Cork!"

You sure that is from the 19th century?

Says 1890s on one website but says 1875 on my bit of paper!
