Long live our noble king!

God save the king!

God save the King.

Where left you Chrononhotonthologos?

Chrononhotonthologos. Act i. Sc. 1.

His cogitative faculties immersed

In cogibundity of cogitation.

Let the singing singers

With vocal voices, most vociferous,

In sweet vociferation out-vociferize

Even sound itself.

To thee, and gentle Rigdom Funnidos,

Our gratulations flow in streams unbounded.

Chrononhotonthologos. Act i. Sc. 3.

Go call a coach, and let a coach be called;

And let the man who calleth be the caller;

And in his calling let him nothing call

But "Coach! Coach! Coach! Oh for a coach, ye gods!"

Genteel in personage,

Conduct, and equipage;

Noble by heritage,

Generous and free.

There 's none like pretty Sally.[285:1]

Of all the days that 's in the week

I dearly love but one day,

And that 's the day that comes betwixt

A Saturday and Monday.

Sally in our Alley.
