The ancient art of Ruling. You may smile
At Print and Paper versus Blood and Iron,
But Sovereign and Crown, though loved by many,
Stand now no chance against the Popular Penny.
Ask Malwood's Squire again! He knows right well
The New Democracy,—and the New Forest;
Our great Plantagenet, a true blue "Swell,"
Fights for the People when their need is sorest.
In Norman BILLY he'd own small belief;
The People's WILLIAM is his favourite chief.
