64 Satirical Poems. They were far better bred than these; Nor gave the slightest opposition, During the Monarch’s whole dentition. But short this calm; for, just when he Had reach’d the’ alarming age of three, When Royal natures, and, no doubt Those of all noble beasts break out — The Lama, who till then was quiet, Show'd symptoms of a taste for riot, And, ripe for mischief, early, late, Without regard for Church or State, Made free with whoso’er came nigh; Tweak’d the Lord Chancellor by the nose, Turn’d all the Judges’ wigs awry, And trod on the old Generals ’toes; Pelted the Bishops with hot buns, Rode cockhorse on the City maces, And shot from little devilish guns, Hard peas into his subjects’ faces. In short, such wicked pranks he play’d, And grew so mischievous, God bless him! Thathis ChiefNurse — with ev’n the aid Of an Archbishop — was afraid , When in these moods, to comb or dress him. Nay, ev’n the persons most inclin’d Through thick and thin, for Kings to stickle, Thought him (if they’d but speak their mind, Which they did not) an odious pickle. At length some patriot lords — a breed Of animals they’ve got in Thibet, Extremely rare, and fit, indeed, For folks like Pidcock, to exhibit — Some patriot lords, who saw the length To which things went, combin’d their strength, And penn’d a manly, plain and free Remonstrance to the Nursery; Protesting warmly that they yielded To none, that ever went before ’em, In loyalty to him who w'ielded The’ hereditary pap-spoon o’er ’em; That, as for treason, ’twas a thing Thatmadethemalmostsicktothink of — That they and theirs stood by the King, Throughout his measles and his chin- cough, When others, thinking him consumptive, Had ratted to the Heir Presumptive, But, still — though much admiring Kings (And chiefly those in leading-strings), Saa vare de Iangt bedre opdragne end disse; || Og gjorde ei den mindste Opposition, || Under Monarchens heie Tanabrud. Men kort var dette Vindslillc — thijust da ban || Havde opnaaet den foruroligende Alder af tre (Aar) || Da Kongelige Naturer, og uden Tvivl || A lie aidle Dyrs (Naturer) bryde los — || Viste Lamaen , som indtil den 'fid var rolig || Symp- tomer at' en Tilboielighed til Spektakel; || Og, moden til (at gjore) Fortraid, tidlig, sildig jj Uden at bryde sig orn Kirke eller Stat, || Tog sig Friheder mod enhver somkom (ham) mer; || Kneb Lord Rigs-Cantsleren i Nresen, || Vendte alle Dommerncs Paruquer skj$ve, || Og traadte paa de gainle Generalers Tteer; || Beskjod Bi- skopperne mod varme Boiler || Heed Kjaiphest paa Hovedstads Sceptrene *) || Og skjiid udaf smaa djarvelske Kanoner || Haarde iErter i sine Undersaatlers Ansigter || Kort sagt saadanne ondskabsfulde Streger legede ban || Og blev en saadan Fortneds-Stifter, Gud velsigne ham! || At hans Over-Amme — endog med Bistand jj Af Erkebispen — var bange for || Da han var i saadanne Luner, at kaimme ham eller klajde ham paa || Ja selv Personer som vare meest tibojelige til || Igjennem tykt og tyndt (d. e. alle Lykkeskaar) at forsvare Konger || Ansaa ham (havde de kun villet sige deres Mening || Hvilket de ikhe vilde) for en fael Krabat (bogst. en slem Sylte). Tilsidst (kom der) visse patriotiske Lorder — en Race || Af Dyre som de have i Thi- bet, || Overordentlig sjailden , og velskikket i Sandhed, || For Marnd som Pidcock, til at udstille — jj Visse patriotiske Lorder, som saa hvorvidt || Tingenegik, forenede deres Styrke, || Og skrev en mandig, simpel og t'ri || Forestilling til Ammestuen\ || Erklairende varmt at de ei gav efter || For nogen af deres Forgjaingere || I Loyalitet mod ham, som forte || Den arvelige Melkebrdds Skee over dem; jj At hvad Fornederi angik, saa var det en Ting jj Hvoraf de nsesten flk ondt ved at tajnke der- paa — || At de og deres havde staaet paa Kongens Side, || Ileelt igjennem hans Maislin- ger og hans Kighoste, || Da andre, som troede han havde Svindsot, || Havde som Vendekaa- ber gaaet over til Arveprindsen ! || Men dog — skjont meget beundrende Konger || (Og ister dem (der gik) i Ledebaand) || Saac de *) City-mace, betyder dog egentlig Byen Londons Scepter.
