MR. BARNEY MAGUIRE’S ACCOUNT OF THE CORONATION
OCH! the Coronation! what celebration
For emulation can with it compare?
When to Westminster the Royal Spinster
And the Duke of Leinster, all in order did repair!
’Twas there you’d see the new Polishemen
Make a scrimmage at half after four;
And the Lords and Ladies, and the Miss O’Gradys,
All standing round before the Abbey door.
Their pillows scorning, that selfsame morning
