The Masquerade at Vauxhall he'll go in State to see;
To Allah he has vowed it—to Allah and the Clown,
That in his royal Glass-Coach he will in State go down.
It's posted in all Quarters—it's stuck up in all Parts,
It's carried about by Boardmen and advertising Carts;
It is in every paper—it is on every wall,
That Ibrahim of Egypt is going to Vauxhall.
To-night the Clerks of London shall "Merry Monarchs" be;
To-night each Linendraper shall get his Captaincy;
The Tailors Metropolitan to-night shall strut as Greeks,
