Lo! majesty admireth yon fair Dome
;
And deemeth that he is admired again!
The king is wedded to it—'tis his home—
He watches it—and loves it, ev'n to pain:
And yet this lofty dome is heard to say,
‘Poh! poh! p*x take your love—away! away!’

The king is wedded to it—'tis his home—
He watches it—and loves it, ev'n to pain:
And yet this lofty dome is heard to say,
‘Poh! poh! p*x take your love—away! away!’
To this, with energy I answer—‘Shame!’
Such bad behaviour puts me in a flame:
This is unseemly, nay, ungrateful carriage,
And brings to mind a little Ode to Marriage.
