Knocking Mammon the meagre o'er pursy Belphegor,

And Lucifer into Beëlzebub's lap.

Oh! happy the slip from his Succubine grip,

In escaping he tumbled, and fractured his hip,

And his left leg was shorter thenceforth than his right!


On the banks of the Rhine, as he's stopping to dine,

From a certain inn-window the traveler is shown

Most picturesque ruins, the scene of these doings,
