That roosts beneath the panes thereA
Her wing she spoilsB
'Gainst them bright toilesB
And cracks her silly brains thereA

This Cristial HallE
Which Imperors might covetF
Stands in High ParkC
Like Noah's ArkC

In other scaynesB

Saint Payther's RoomH
And Dublin's proud RotundoF

As well becomesB
Her dignitee and stationsB
Victoria GreatF
And houlds in stateF

From distant shoresB
Her Injians and CanajiansB
And also weI
Her kingdoms threeI
Attind with our allagianceB

To fill her CoornucopeanG

Until me sightF
Was dazzled quiteF
And couldn't see for staringC

Did paint the tonesB
Of yellow and gambouge inG

And crosses fairI
There's water gods with urrnsB
There's organs threeI
To play d'ye seeI
'God save the Queen ' by turrnsI

There's Statues brightF
Of marble whiteF
Of silver and of copperI
And some in zincC
And some I thinkC

That stands in linesI
Enormous and amazingC
That squeal and snortF
Like whales in sportF
Or elephants a grazingC

And pins for pigsI
There's dibblers and there's harrowsI
And ploughs like toysI
For little boysI
And ilegant wheelbarrowsI

There's plenty to indulge 'emJ
There's Droskys snugC
From PaytersbugC
And vayhycles from BulgiumJ

And Shandthry dannsI
There's Waggons from New York hereI
There's Lapland SleighsI
Have cross'd the seasI
And Jaunting Cyars from Cork hereI

Amazed I passI
From glass to glassI
Deloighted I survey 'emJ
Fresh wondthers growsI
Before me noseI
In this sublime MusayumJ

A sabre from DamascoC

And cannons rareI
There's coffins fill'd with rosesI

Teeth insthrumintsI
And shuits of clothes by MOSESI

Of things in storeI
But thim I don't remimberI
Nor could discloseI
Did I composeI
From May time to NovimberI

With eyes so blueI
That you were here to view itF
And could I screwI
But tu pound tuI
'Tis I would thrait you to itF

And Albert's proud conditionG
That takes his ayseI
As he surveysI
This Cristial ExhibitionG
