His Majesty found him quite eloquent,

Fond of a dinner, fonder of a joke

But, needing matter

For converse with his stranger worship, spoke

Of Norfolk hospitality, and geese;

Of turkeys, game, and fowls, that take a lease

Yearly to smoke on many a cockney platter,

Forgetting not, to please the honest gent:

Mention of gravy, sausage, dumpling, batter;

Till, the good man, quite in his element
