 A And thus upon the list they run: The Second William, Henry First; Next Stephen, Henry Second--not worst And here the Norman line, I'll bet,

 And Richard who was strangely fooled For Charles the Second took the reins. Then William Third, the last whose veins ! From Stuart did their blood derive, .- And Hanoverians ruled the hive. George First, George Second, George Third, & las Old Admiral William Fourth, whose mast King Death capsiz'd, and when twas down, Victoria rose, and wears the crown. '4 ~ Our rulers mostly end in ON,
