And now, emerging from the shelf

(A site where Kings are seldom happy),

You must be pleased to find yourself

Once more resilient on the tapis.

Over your past (Out, damnéd spots!)

With lavish bucketfuls you paint

The whitewash on to clean its blots

And camouflage the Teuton taint;

From William and the family tie

Protesting your unbridled freedom,
