Prince (laughing). Punch, know you all the Swan?

Mr. Punch. E'en as the Swan

Knows all his Punch, which is his favourite reading

In the Elysian Fields; and one good turn

Deserves another! But, my Albert Edward,

"What did the Russian whisper in your ear?"

Prince. Punchius, "He swore that he did hold me dear

As precious eyesight, and did value me

Above this world; adding thereto, moreover,

That he would ever live our England's lover."
