The world may learn, with some amaze,
A Sov'reign's ways want mending.
Say, Wellington, can this be you?
His Majesty's adviser!
Who dares so bold a course pursue—
The King's Macadamiser.
To say what next we may expect
Would be as weak as vain;
Straight-forward dealing don't expect
From lads in CROOKED-LANE.
