XXII.

Many more Bas-Bleusians truly
Homage paid to Gog full duely,
But those I've sung enjoy'd the station
Held by the magnates of our nation,
The loudest talkers in debates
About their own and other states,
As they, like others I could mention,
Had a most perplexing penchant
For ruling all the neighb'ring regions
By their sage parliament's decisions,
Deeming, no doubt, their nous prodigious,
A blunder that I call egregious.
