And when dun'd to pay, bade them call to-morrow.

His reign at last is o’er, and Europe is united;
See the tyrant flies, by his troops forsaken,
Forc’d, by telling lies, to save his royal bacon.

Bourbon’s flag’s display'd on every tower and steeple,
They’ve Boney’s courage cool’d, now they’ve fix’d his doom sir,
He who nations rul’d, content with Elba room sir.

He palace building went, the better to deceive sir,
By break of day he rose, and rode all o’er his ground sir;
But soon he did suppose he had not Elba room sir.
