Of course you’ve heard the welcome news, Or you must be a gaby, That England’s glorious Queen has got At last a little baby? A boy we wanted--’tis a girl! Thus all our our hopes that were To have an _heir unto the Throne_, Are all _thrown to the air_! How could folks think she’d have a boy? To me it seem’d all fun-- For in a dark November _fog_ We seldom have _a sun_! Yet after all I’m wrong myself To reason so, perhaps, For we all know what winter is The time for having CHAPS. Doctors Locock, Blagden, Clark, They made the great _diskivery_, And having brought the goods to town, Were “paid upon delivery!” Prince Albert for a nurse sent off, To tend his babe and spouse-- One living at the _Isle of Wight_, As _milk is best from_ COWES! From eve till morn, from morn till eve, The pretty infant prattles, Gives hope strong of life being leng, Though oft it has the RATTLES! These sprigs of royalty may soon Be plentiful as sermons-- Prince Albert possibly may have A lot of these SMALL GERMANS!
