And Colburn with his Muck Monthly Magazine was there;
And Ward the animal Painter, with a piece of spoil’d canvas, 35 feet wide by 21, was there;
But Bird who, most disloyally, died of a broken heart, was not there;
And the Duke of Wellington, with his Sword of State was there;
And Sir John Silvester, the Recorder of London, and his assistant were there;
And Messrs. Rundell and Bridge, the Jewellers who repair’d the Crown were there,
And the Pigtails cut off from his Majesty’s guards were there;
And the guards themselves in their next uniforms, and new white gaiters, were there;
