| I met a King this afternoon | B |
| He had not on a Crown indeed | C |
| A little Palmleaf Hat was all | D |
| And he was barefoot I'm afraid | E |
| - | |
| But sure I am he Ermine wore | F |
| Beneath his faded Jacket's blue | G |
| And sure I am the crest he bore | F |
| Within that Jacket's pocket too | G |
| - | |
| For 'twas too stately for an Earl | H |
| A Marquis would not go so grand | I |
| 'Twas possibly a Czar petite | J |
| A Pope or something of that kind | K |
| - | |
| If I must tell you of a Horse | L |
| My freckled Monarch held the rein | M |
| Doubtless an estimable Beast | N |
| But not at all disposed to run | O |
| - | |
| And such a wagon While I live | P |
| Dare I presume to see | Q |
| Another such a vehicle | R |
| As then transported me | Q |
| - | |
| Two other ragged Princes | S |
| His royal state partook | T |
| Doubtless the first excursion | O |
| These sovereigns ever took | T |
| - | |
| I question if the Royal Coach | U |
| Round which the Footmen wait | V |
| Has the significance on high | W |
| Of this Barefoot Estate | V |
