Will gain your heartiest plaudits

By gifts of soup and coals!

Come, Phelps, come crouch unto him;

Come, Kean, and do the same;

You, famous by your own good deeds,

You, by your father’s name!

Crouch to the great Gustavus,

Who has become the rage,

And proved himself, by feats of alms,

King of the British Stage.
