"And what do you mean, I pray, wee sir,

That the whole of the town you wake and stir

At ten o'clock of the night?

That the babies, and birds, and lambs, and all,

From their cradles into the street you call,

And give folks such a fright?

"And you've waked the Prince," halloed the

King,

"And now will I, by my signet-ring"—

Wee Willie, he screamed aloud,
