Victoria’s wedding with Albert her King.
Many suitors the Queen’s had of class, clime, and creed,
But each failed to make an impression, indeed;
For, for Albert of Coburg the rest off she packs—
Thus “giving the bag each” and keeping the “Saxe!”
A fortunate fellow he is, all must say,
And right well his cards he has managed to play;
The game he has won, and no wonder, I ween,
When he play’d “speculation” and turn’d up “The Queen.”
Our cups to the dregs, &c., &c.
