I have seen Napoleon, who seemed quite a Jupiter,
Shrink to a Saturn. I have seen a Duke
(No matter which) turn politician stupider,
If that can well be, than his wooden look.
But it is time that I should hoist my “blue Peter,”
And sail for a new theme:—I have seen—and shook
To see it—the King hissed, and then caressed;
But don’t pretend to settle which was best.
