Under the piecemeal damask canopy

With the coroneted coat-of-arms a-top!

Poverty and privation for pride's sake,

All they engaged to easily brave and bear,—

With the fit upon them and their brains a-work,—

Proved unendurable to the sobered sots.

A banished prince, now, will exude a juice

And salamander-like support the flame:

He dines on chestnuts, chucks the husks to help

The broil o' the brazier, pays the due baioc,
