(i) Upon King Julian's Return From Stebbing / From fourteen Great Danes he came to me.

To be, small, local Hamlet? O, not to be!

(ii) King Juan Advocates King Felipe / She'll do this, she'll do that: / People sigh in the local vat; / But Shiel is this, and Shiel is that / Cries the vocal King with his golden hat.

Galsworthy & Gawsworth / Galsworthy's verse I find unworthy. ‘Fust is' / My verdict on his verse: skinned game, by justice.

Gawsworth, on the other hand, / Is worthy, unjust, skinned, not grand; / May he continue just as long / As frogs are in the throat of song.
