Lilliput Levee.
7
The Constitution! The Law! The Crown!
Order reigns in Lilliput-town!
The Queen is Jill, and the King is John;
I trust the Government will get on.
I noticed, being a man of rhymes,
An advertisement in the Lilliput Times:—
"Pinafore Palace. This is to state
That the Court is in want of a Laureate
"Nothing menial required.
Poets, willing to be hired,
May send in Specimens, at once.
Care of the Chamberlain Doubledunce."
Said I to myself, here's a chance for me,
The Lilliput Laureate for to be!
And these are the Specimens I sent in
To Pinafore Palace. Shall I win?
