No cares of state before him rise,

No treaties, but a treat;

Sugar in every shape and guise,

Gives sweets unto his suite.

Hostilities he need not dread,

Like some in regal stations;

A Twelfth-Night King is at the head

Of friendliest relations.

FACTS THAT DO NOT COME WITHIN THE RECOLLECTION
OF THE OLDEST INHABITANT.

The invasion of England by the Prince de Joinville.
