Disdains the rule of fogeydom and quizdom,

And Frogs as soon would take to bibs and corals,

As ask a "King who might inspect their morals"

From Jupiter. Then 'twas Juventus Mundi;

The true King-maker now is—Mrs. GRUNDY,

And she insisted that our modern Frogs

Should have a King—the woodenest of King Logs.

At first this terrified our Frogs exceedingly,

And, sometimes passionately, sometimes pleadingly,

They grumbled and protested;
