Note 1 — GEORGE BRANDES
William Archer translation
It runs:—
"A parliament member, a justice of peace, At home a poor scare-crow, at London an asse; If lowsie is Lucy, as some volke miscalle it, Then Lucy is lowsie, whatever befall it; He thinkes himself greate Yet an asse in his state We allowe by his eares but with asses to mate. If Lucy is lowsie, as some volke miscalle it, Sing lowsie Lucy, whatever befalle it."
