Dead corps in four and twenty hours,

And there the King was kill’d:

The Bastile and Saint Dennis-street,

The Shafflenist, like London-Fleet,

The Arsenal, no toy.

But if you’ll see the prettiest thing,

Go to the court and see the King,

O ’tis a hopeful boy.

He is of all his dukes and peers

Reverenc’d for much wit at ’s years,
