Who, too, with malice so prepense,

Made us attempt our own defence,

In feeble words and weaker sense?—

Our Marquis!

Who, in his arrogance and pride,

Brings us to town this autumn-tide,

Decided facts to re-decide?

Our Marquis!

Who spoils our sport, upsets our plans,

And trips to Cannes or Carthage bans,
