DECEMBER 265 



Enter KING GEORGE, attired in as near an approach as he dares 

 don to a modern military uniform. His manner is blustering 

 and aggressive. 



KING GEORGE. 



In comes I, King Jarge, 



That man of kerrage bold ; 

 With my broad sword in my hand 

 I won ten thousand pounds in gold. 



'Twas I that fought the fiery dragon, 

 An' brought en to the slaughter ; 



'Twas I that won 



The King of Egypt's daughter. 



With my manhood zo brave, 



An' my vallet zo true, 



I've conquered armies an' nations, an' still I say, 

 I'll fight wi' any fightin' man as comes athin my way. 



FATHER CHRISTMAS. Walk in, thou Foreign King. 



Enter THE FOREIGN KING, dressed somewhat like FATHER 

 CHRISTMAS as are nearly all the following characters but 

 with a blackface. His manner is as blatant as King George's 

 until his defeat at the champion's hands^ when he cringes in 

 proper form,) as England's enemies should everywhere do. 



THE FOREIGN KING. 



In comes I, the bold Foreign King, 

 Wi' my broad sword in my hand 

 I'll quickly make it swing. 

 Likewise I am the bold Turkish Knight, 

 Just come into old England vor to fight. 

 Let King Jarge that man of kerrage bold 

 Draw his sword ; 

 If his blood be hot 

 I'll quickly make it cold. 



KING GEORGE. 



Hold, thou Turkish Knight ! 

 Thou talkest very bold ; 

 But draw thy sword an' vight, 

 Or draw thy purse an' pay ; 

 Vor satisfaction I 'ool have 

 Avore thou goest away.
