The pit seams choky gloom.
We never sobbd to sleep, on straw
| Close crouched for warmth, like vermin--
We not English children;
No, Colt sey dank, we're German
They say English sisters
Are never blithe, we;
But, Queen, you look so gracious,
That this can never be.
They tell US they're i'll nurtured
OF raiment scant and rude
Not picturesque, as We arc
A wild and wolfsh brood
Then bless good Saint Gregorius,
That did our lots determine
We are not English children;
No, Colt sey dcnk, we're German.
When you go back to England,
You'll think What you've seen
Then ask our English sisters
| To dance upon the green.
Perhaps they'll look less savage,
With seemlier clothes and food
Perhaps with kindly teaching
You'll change their sullen mood
IT'S sad that they should 60 in rags,
And you their Queen in ermine-
We are not English children
No. Gott sey dank, we're German
from London Punch Sept. 1871
| Our continental friends have discovered that on
her foreign trips her Majesty however she may be
seemingly possessed by pleasure, has nevertheless
one of her bright blue eyes always upon business
According to German and French writers, her gra-
clous Majesty Queen Victoria Is a commercial ira
veler a royal bag-woman to the firm of Bull ~
Company. Thus, the Queen cared little about the
glorles of the Rhine. Oh, no the prevailing idea
of the royal mind was how to diddle the ZoIlverein
in the matter of cotton twist. Att the very time they
were shooting the deer at Gotha, the Queens
! thoughts were immersed in tallow-wrapt in hides
And then her Majesty, with the magic of her
voice and smile, has such way OF pushing the COM
human nature which is intultve to royalty, she ge-
nerally takes the dining hour, as the most genial
| season to push business. Our own reporters have
supplied us with notes OF the following converse
| tons the victims being those unsophistlcated mo-
narchs, w illiam OF Prussia, and LOUIS Philippe Of
France.

those ties shall be no other than British cotton twist
| A DAINTY DISH TO SET BEFORE QUEEN
| Sing song of Gotha-a pocket-iul ofrye,
Eightandfor timd deer driven in to die
Wien the sport was open'd, all bleeding they were
| Wasn't that dainty dish to set before Queen
The Queen sat in her easy chair and lookd sweet
The Prince shooting the deer in weather bright
The bands were playing Pokas, dressed in green and
The Mobiles cut the poor deers throats and that all
Punch knows
