I'm looking for the tune of a song of the above title, to fit another set of words going like this:

The new gold mines are all the rage

And passage people do engage--

The fever now none can assuage--

Such things me greatly do enrage;

For, by the ruins of Thermopylae!

It is a ruse of "the Monopoly"!

[it's a great rhyme, isn't it? -- the song is about the famous "Fraser River humbug", the mad rush north in 1858]. Any info will be appreciated.]
