When thus unto his will he fitly had them won,
At her expected hour the Queen brought forth a son—
Young Edward, born in Wales, and of Carnarvon called,
Thus by the English craft the Britons were enthralled.
Punch treats the parallel from Paddy's point of view, and winds up:—
Sly Longshanks long ago with Cambria played a game—
What if, say, Battenberg should contemplate the same?
Pat, give him a fair chance, will prove himself—right loyal;
But—ye can't heal ould wounds with mere soft soap—though Royal.
