King Stanislaus
Eh, I didn’t catch it quite;
Repeat it, please! I didn’t understand.
Brownies
Why, you, you, you, you! You’re all right!
King Stanislaus
And so is the Brownie band!
King Stanislaus
I need no sabre, lance, or spear
To guard me whene’er I slumber;
My people kneel, but not thro’ fear;
Love governs the entire number.
My slightest wish they all obey;
I never use any axes;
I always let them have their way;
They don’t have to pay high taxes;
No undertaker need apply;
I’m not for embalmment crazy;
My subjects cry as I pass by,
“The Brownie king is a daisy!”
Brownies
Oh, you’re all right, etc.
The refrain was so rollicking and infectious that when it was repeated Dragonfel and his followers could not keep from joining in with the Brownies, and they lustily roared out the words with a right good will.
The delayed wedding of Prince Florimel and Queen Titania was celebrated very soon after in the fairy-palace with all the joy and happiness that can come to such a momentous occasion.
Brownies and fairies vied with each other in having a good time, and the walls rang with their innocent merry-making. Everyone said that King Stanislaus was the life of the party.
Dragonfel and his followers participated in the festivities, this time unfeared, and to the strains of a Brownie orchestra they mingled with others in the dance. Dragonfel even tried to do the fox-trot with Dame Drusilda, which greatly delighted Euphrosyne who was among those present.
