When you or I get up at eight We do not have to cogitate And rack our brains concerning just Which suit to wear, as Princes must; The Crown Prince has a hundred suits, Including hats and belts and boots, Yet such his master-mind, he knows Which he must wear and just what goes With what, which chevron, sash or sword, Each in his Royal Head is stored, Down to the detail of a spur, All in a Nut-shell, as it were!
