One day the Chinese Bird of Royalty FUM	A
Thus accosted our own Bird of Royalty HUM	A
In that Palace or China shop Brighton which is it	B
Where FUM had just come to pay HUM a short visit	C
Near akin are these Birds tho' they differ in nation	D
The breed of the HUMS is as old as creation	D
Both full crawed Legitimates both birds of prey	E
Both cackling and ravenous creatures half way	E
'Twixt the goose and the vulture like Lord Castlereagh	F
While FUM deals in Mandarins Bonzes Bohea	G
Peers Bishops and Punch HUM are sacred to thee	H
So congenial their tastes that when FUM first did light on	I
The floor of that grand China warehouse at Brighton	D
The lanterns and dragons and things round the dome	A
Where so like what he left Gad says FUM I'm at home	A
And when turning he saw Bishop L GE Zooks it is	J
Quoth the Bird Yes I know him a Bonze by his phiz	J
And that jolly old idol he kneels to so low	K
Can be none but our round about god head fat Fo	F
It chanced at this moment the Episcopal Prig	L
Was imploring the Prince to dispense with his wig	L
Which the Bird overhearing flew high o'er his head	M
And some TOBIT like marks of his patronage shed	M
Which so dimmed the poor Dandy's idolatrous eye	N
That while FUM cried Oh Fo all the court cried Oh fie	F
	-
But a truce to digression these Birds of a feather	O
Thus talkt t'other night on State matters together	O
The PRINCE just in bed or about to depart for't	H
His legs full of gout and his arms full of HARTFORD	P
I say HUM says FUM FUM of course spoke Chinese	J
But bless you that's nothing at Brighton one sees	J
Foreign lingoes and Bishops translated with ease	J
I say HUM how fares it with Royalty now	Q
Is it up is it prime is it spooney or how	Q
The Bird had just taken a flash man's degree	H
Under BARRYMORE YARMOUTH and young Master L E	H
As for us in Pekin here a devil of a din	R
From the bed chamber came where that long Mandarin	D
Castlereagh whom FUM calls the Confucius of Prose	J
Was rehearsing a speech upon Europe's repose	J
To the deep double bass of the fat Idol's nose	J
	-
Nota bene his Lordship and LIVERPOOL come	A
In collateral lines from the old Mother HUM	A
CASTLEREAGH a HUM bug LIVERPOOL a HUM drum	A
The Speech being finisht out rusht CASTLEREAGH	F
Saddled HUM in a hurry and whip spur away	E
Thro' the regions of air like a Snip on his hobby	H
Ne'er paused till he lighted in St Stephen's lobby	H
