PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. [September 24, 1887.

QUITE ENGLISH.

{New Version, as Sung by the Comie de Paris.)

Here I come in complete Constitutional coat My mind, like my last Manifesto, 'tis clear,

(That's English, you know; quite English, you know): Is English, quite English, you know!,

T5(ThIt's°EnrZl1Monar0Jly Wd ■? H0^-™, 1-nnw \ Just now a g«at calm meets the national eyes

To have a Wit ™V°£-kn°W Vt?^ *g ' 7 ] (That '8 English, you know; quite English, you know)

£° _aXe.a !f?}™ate King on the throne, _ Tt.it, imminent nm-1* it. nnnnnt disruise

To make all the Country's hest interests his own,
Great, grand, patriotic, but not overgrown

(That s English, you know; quite English, you know),
Chorus.

Oh, the things that you see and ths things that you hear
Are English, you know; quite English, you know.

But imminent perils it cannot disguise

(That's English, you know; quite English, you
know).

We have deserved well of Conservative France ;
A Monarchy only her bliss can enhance ;
And now of its nature I '11 give you a glance

(That's English, you know; quite English, you know).
