(And so was born the jest that’s still

The comic journal’s mania!)

This shows how the prince won the princess’s heart,

And the end of her sleeping was simply a start.

With torpor reprehensible,

Numb, comatose, insensible,

The flunkeys and the chamberlains all slumbered like the dead,

And snored so loud and mournfully,

That Charming passed them scornfully
