I am Mr. Lewis Morris, of Penbryn.

He was christened after Shakespeare, but his other name is mine;

Yet, though critics are so quick at me to quiz,

I can honestly asseverate I never wrote a line

That could fairly be compared with one of his.

When I wrote an ode to praise the life our precious Prince has led,

Though I must confess it fell a little flat,

There were certain silly editors who ignorantly said

Mr. William had been capable of that.

Now I happen to be certain it would take him all his time
