No gravy and no grub,
No pewter and no pub,
No belly and no bowels,
Only consonants and vowels.

To read in the Bible --

God bless the King, I mean the Faith’s Defender;

But who Pretender is, or who is King,
God bless us all – that’s quite another thing.
--- John ByromGod bless – no harm in blessing – the Pretender;
But who Pretender is, or who is King,
God bless us all – that’s quite another thing.
