Of petty Jewish, economic schemes!
So very proud (I’m griev’d, O Tom, to tell it)
He’d rather give a coat away than sell it!
Fair justice to the Monarch must allow
Prodigious science in a calf or cow;
And wisdom in an article of swine.
What most unusual knowledge for a King!
Because pig-wisdom is a thing
In which no Sov’reign e’er were known to shine.
Yet who will think I am not telling fibs?
