'Tis not a Hohenzollern we'd expect to serve us so.
You've sacked our safest Pilot, who objected to your pranks,
And now you are coquetting with mad mutiny in the ranks,
Eh? You'll suppress it when you please, you'll smash up all your foes?
'Tis a new game, for Royalty, and risky, goodness knows.
Meanwhile, don't sway the boat like that, into the sea you'll fall;
Or, what's more likely, just capsize the craft and drown us all!
