There is a difference, says the song, “between

A beggar and a Queen,” or was (of late

The latter worse used of the two we’ve seen⁠—

But we’ll say nothing of affairs of state);

A difference “ ’twixt a Bishop and a Dean,”

A difference between crockery ware and plate,

As between English beef and Spartan broth⁠—

And yet great heroes have been bred by both.
