The Noble Prince, in his great self collected,
He first the Baton from the Hat selected.
In manners dignified, and all his own,
He thus his R——l sentiments made known—
‘This Baton, Sir, is in my firm belief,
‘The noblest Gift a Sovereign can receive;
‘And when so merited, we all must know,
‘The noblest Gift a Sovereign can bestow.
‘Here! take this back, with gratitude I yield it,—
‘His is the only Arm that’s fit to Wield it.
