Excerpt from The Scourge, or Literary, Theatrical and Miscellaneous Magazine, 1815, Vol. 10

Whose magic cup makes royal heads turn round There 13 and at his heels a hundred more, Whose names the Muse reluctant passes o'er.

To give them all, would ask ten thousand tongues, A throat of brass, and adamantine lungs!

Now in the royal presence are they brought, With expectation big, and anxious thought, And now his royal favour to evince.
