CHRISTMAS

Whilst Charles his royal trencher piled
  From one huge loin of beef.

Quoth Charles, "Odd's fish! a noble dish!
  Ay, noble made by me!
By kingly right, I dub thee knight—
  Sir Loin henceforward be!"

And never was a royal jest
  Received with such acclaim:
And never knight than good Sir Loin
  More worthy of the name.
