awake long after this Geography has gone into its hundred thousandth edition!
The Prince has been immortalized in the following lines:
“Hurray!” cried the Kitten,
“Hurray!”
As he merrily set the sails,
“I sail o’er the ocean
today, today,
To look at the Prince of Wales!”
“Oh, Kitten, pause at the brink!
And think of the angry gales!”
“Ah, yes,” cried the Kitten, “but think!
Oh, think of the Prince of Wales!”
“But, Kitten,” I cried, dismayed,
“If you live through the angry gales
You know you will be afraid
To look at the Prince of Wales!”
Said the Kitten, “No such thing!
Why should he make me wince?
If a Cat may look at a King,
A Kitten may look at a Prince!”
