Where’s Brummell? Dished. Where’s Long Pole Wellesley? Diddled.

Where’s Whitbread? Romilly? Where’s George the Third?

Where is his will? (That’s not so soon unriddled.)

And where is “Fum” the Fourth, our “royal bird?”

Gone down, it seems, to Scotland to be fiddled

Unto by Sawney’s violin, we have heard:

“Caw me, caw thee”⁠—for six months hath been hatching

This scene of royal itch and loyal scratching.
