‘Knight of the Bath, and F——k’s A. D. C.’}
The Baton struck the Dames with much surprise,
They all admir’d the painting, shape, and size:
‘It was a Stick, no doubt, ’twas made of Oak;
‘And heavy too—’twould give a monstrous Stroke.’
As for the Hat, as round about they dealt it,
When each great Lord, & noble Knight had felt it—
‘For such a Prize ’twas not worth while to Roam,
‘They all could boast a better one at Home.’
