Oh, Wellington! (or “Villainton”⁠—for Fame

Sounds the heroic syllables both ways;

France could not even conquer your great name,

But punned it down to this facetious phrase⁠—

Beating or beaten she will laugh the same,)

You have obtained great pensions and much praise:

Glory like yours should any dare gainsay,

Humanity would rise, and thunder “Nay!”
