| Having sent off the troops of brave Major Camac | C |
| With a swinging horse tail at each valorous back | C |
| And such helmets God bless us as never deckt any | B |
| Male creature before except Signor Giovanni | B |
| Let's see said the Regent like Titus perplext | A |
| With the duties of empire whom shall I dress next | A |
| - | |
| He looks in the glass but perfection is there | D |
| Wig whiskers and chin tufts all right to a hair | D |
| Not a single ex curl on his forehead he traces | E |
| For curls are like Ministers strange as the case is | F |
| The falser they are the more firm in their places | E |
| His coat he next views but the coat who could doubt | A |
| For his Yarmouth's own Frenchified hand cut it out | A |
| Every pucker and seam were made matters of state | A |
| And a Grand Household Council was held on each plait | A |
| - | |
| Then whom shall he dress shall he new rig his brother | G |
| Great Cumberland's Duke with some kickshaw or other | G |
| And kindly invent him more Christianlike shapes | H |
| For his feather bed neckcloths and pillory capes | H |
| Ah no here his ardor would meet with delays | I |
| For the Duke had been lately packt up in new Stays | I |
| So complete for the winter he saw very plain | J |
| 'Twould be devilish hard work to unpack him again | K |
| - | |
| So what's to be done there's the Ministers bless 'em | L |
| As he made the puppets why shouldn't he dress 'em | L |
| An excellent thought call the tailors be nimble | M |
| Let Cum bring his spy glass and Hertford her thimble | M |
| While Yarmouth shall give us in spite of all quizzers | I |
| The last Paris cut with his true Gallic scissors | I |
| - | |
| So saying he calls Castlereagh and the rest | A |
| Of his heaven born statesmen to come and be drest | A |
| While Yarmouth with snip like and brisk expedition | N |
| Cuts up all at once a large Catholic Petition | N |
| In long tailors' measures the Prince crying Well done | N |
| And first puts in hand my Lord Chancellor Eldon | O |
