ISING early in the morning, We proceed to light our fire, Then our Majesty adorning
 * In its work-a-day attire,
 * We embark without delay
 * On the duties of the day.

First, we polish off some batches Of political despatches,
 * And foreign politicians circumvent;

Then, if business isn't heavy, We may hold a Royal levée,
 * Or ratify some Acts of Parliament:

Then we probably review the household troops— With the usual "Shalloo humps!" and "Shalloo hoops!"
