'The next day came a group of lords,

And eke of ladies plenty;

Deck'd out in jewels, wigs and swords,

Of each not less than twenty.

'High at the head of this gay throng

Shone mighty Cæsar's mother;

And, like a pine, the shrubs among,

Stood Y—k, his favourite brother.

'And brother K—t, too, shew'd his face;
