    The first is the great Prince George,
    May fortune on him smile,
    The next is St. Patrick,
    The patron of our isle,
    Mighty Napoleon next comes in
    The conquerer of renown
    And followed by Lord Wellington
    He swears he will pull him down
    The Emperor of Russia next comes in
    That monarch of great fame
    Close followed by the grand Signior
    Most terrible for to name
    It is for our learned doctor
    To him great praise is due
    And the next he is Lord Nelson
    Rear admiral red and blue
    Our gallant hero next comes in
    He is Polish King by name
    And Julius Caeser you all know
    Will surely merit fame
    O'Connell he is the last
