Suppose this war is one of Deutschland's botches,

And Right, not Might, should happen to prevail!"

There'd be a revolution; nought could stop it.

Not that I'd weep if Wilhelm had to go;

But what if Holy Junkerdom should cop it?

That would be most unfortunate—and, oh!

Supposing Count Reventlow had to hop it,

Kultur would never rally from the blow.

Algol.
