Weary of the labours of war-winning—

Downing mandarins in Downing Street,

Fixing brands of CAIN upon the sinning,

Bingeing up the Army and the Fleet;

Weary of dislodging Kings and Kaisers,

Wearier of his friends than of his foes,

Prompted by his medical advisers

He has wandered South to seek repose.

There to ease his cranial distension

He will lead the simple life, incog.,
