Albeit wholly penniless	A
Prince Charming wasn't any less	B
Conceited than a Croesus or a modern millionaire	C
Though often in necessity	D
No one would ever guess it He	D
Was candidly insolvent and he frankly didn't care	C
Of the many debts he made	E
Not a one was ever paid	E
But no one ever pressed him to refund the borrowed gold	F
While he recklessly kept spending	G
People gladly kept on lending	G
For the fact they knew a title	H
Was requital	H
Twenty fold	F
He lived in sixteen sixty three	D
This smooth unblushing article	H
Since when as far as I can see	D
Men haven't changed a particle	H
	-
In Charming's principality	D
There was a wild locality	D
Composed of sombre forest and of steep and frowning crags	D
Of pheasant and of rabbit too	I
And here it was his habit to	I
Go hunting with his courtiers in the keen pursuit of stags	D
But the charger that he rode	J
So mercurially strode	J
That the prince on one occasion left the others in the lurch	K
And the falling darkness found him	L
With no vassals left around him	L
Near a building like an abbey	D
Or a shabby	D
Ruined church	K
His Highness said I'll ring the bell	H
And stay till morning in it He	D
Took Hobson's choice for no hotel	H
There was in the vicinity	D
	-
His ringing was so vehement	M
That any one could see he meant	N
To suffer no refusal but in spite of all the din	O
There was no answer audible	H
And so with courage laudable	H
His Royal Highness turned the knob and stoutly entered in	O
Then he strode across the court	P
But he suddenly stopped short	P
When he passed within the castle by a massive oaken door	Q
There were courtiers without number	R
But they all were plunged in slumber	R
The prince's ear delighting	G
By uniting	G
In a snore	Q
The prince remarked This must be Philadelphia	S
Pennsylvania	S
And so was born the jest that's still	H
The comic journal's mania	S
	-
With torpor reprehensible	H
Numb comatose insensible	H
The flunkeys and the chamberlains all slumbered like the dead	T
And snored so loud and mournfully	H
That Charming passed them scornfully	H
And came to where a princess lay asleep upon a bed	T
She was so extremely fair	C
That His Highness didn't care	C
For the risk and so he kissed her ere a single word he spoke	U
In a jiffy maids and pages	D
Ushers lackeys squires and sages	D
As fresh as if they'd been at least	V
A week awake	W
Awoke	U
And hastened bustled dashed and ran	X
Up stairways and through galleries	D
In brief they one and all began	X
Again to earn their salaries	D
	-
Aroused from her paralysis	D
As if in deep analysis	D
Of him who had awakened her the princess met his eye	Y
Her glance at first was critical	H
And sternly analytical	H
And then she dropped her lashes and she gave a little sigh	Y
As he watched her wholly dumb	Z
She observed You doubtless come	Z
For one of two good reasons and I'm going to ask you which	A2
Do you mean my house to harry	D
Or do you propose to marry	D
He answered I may rue it	B2
But I'll do it	B2
If you're rich	A2
The princess murmured with a smile	H
I've millions at the least to come	Z
The prince cried Please excuse me while	H
I go and get the priest to come	Z
	-
	-
The Moral When affairs go ill	H
The sleeping partner foots the bill	H
