Och! the Coronation! what celebration
For emulation can with it compare?
When to Westminster the Royal Spinster,
And the Duke of Leinster, all in order did repair!

Themselves adorning, all by the candle light,
With roses and lilies, and daffy-down-dillies,
And gould, and jewels, and rich di’monds bright.
And then approaches five hundred coaches,
With Giniral Dullbeak.– Och! ’twas mighty fine
To see how asy bould Corporal Casey,
With his swoord drawn, prancing, made them kape the line.
Then the Guns’ alarums, and the King of Arums,
All in his Garters and his Clarence shoes,
Opening the massy doors to the bould Ambassydors,
The Prince of Potboys, and great haythen Jews;
‘Twould have made you crazy to see Esterhazy
All jew’ls from jasey to his di’mond boots,
With Alderman Harmer, and that swate charmer,
The famale heiress, Miss Anj
