THE PIG.
" The Prince succeeded in killing one pig."— Copy of ' Times' telegram from l,idw. Ho ! England, sound the trump and drum, Your flags and banners rig ; From India's shore the news has come. Our Prince has killed a pig ! Each English heart will faster beat, With pride and triumph big, To read of this heroic feat, This killing of the pig ! Each butcher boy who drives around In rapid morning gig, Will feel devotion more profound For him who killed the pig ! They now are sunk in dark eclipse, Whose words' not worth a fig, Once dared to snarl at royal trips — Our Prince has killed a pig ! Who now shall say the visit's vain, Or call it infra dig ? Illustrious Prince, remain ! remain '. And kill another pig f ' London Examiner.'
