ON the glorious Monday, the day after
Sunday,
The bells did ring cheerful, and the band
sweetly play ;
It all things surpasses, the lads and the lasses,
Were jovial and happy on the wedding day ;
To the altar was carried and joyfully married,
This handsome young couple,the knot it was tied
Their love they had plighted, and they was united
The young Prussian Prince and his sweet lovely
bride.

The bells joyful ringing lads and lasses sweet
singing,
The bands of Britannia so sweetly did play,
Iu love Frederick caught her, the Queen's lovely
daughter,
All England was happy on their wedding day.

Said the princess, my Freddy,come let us be ready
It is time to the chapel my love we were gone,
There all will be righted, and we'll be united,
And then you and I love will soon be made one,
What thousands are coming, see how they are
running,
The sweet bonny lasses look cheerful and gay,
And as they drew near her,theyjoyful did cheer her
They will ever remember their grand wedd ng day

There was soldiers and sailors, policemeu and
tailors,
And ladies so handsome with bustles behind,
The Duchess of Gower with her sable i oa,
A red petticoat and large crinoline.

There was girls wearing lockets and some picking
pockets,
There was coachmen and footmen, and cookey
so gay.
Pretty Jane with her big veil, and old Lady Pigtail
Singing cheer up for Chatham on their wedding
day.

An old lady as I state had travelled from Highgate,
On next Monday morning she'll be ninety-two
She came in a cab there, so happy and glad, sir,
At the royal wedding she would have a view
The sight for to see then, she climbed up a tree
then.
She bawl'd lawk a daisy, oh look, there she goes
I'll be married this day then, the branches gave
way then,
And down the old lady feli baag on her nose.

How the bells they did ring, sir ; they started for
Windsor,
The train went along I can't tell you how,
Such snouting and shaking, and gay merry making
In Windsor and Eton, in Datchet and Slough.
All happy,no grumbling roastbeef &plum dumpling
For all the poor people was ready that day,
And to keep them all sober, old stunning October,
To drink to the hcalth of those lovers so gay.

Now the Queeu s lovely daughter is going over
the water.
The sweet pretty girls of proud Berlin to see
They'll gladly receive her, & never will leave her
Victoria is destined their Queen for to be ;
May they be not be wildering, have lots of children
Be blessed with conteut & live happy thro life,
And I hope Mister Freddy will always be ready
To protect his adorable, amiable, wife.

Ere the wedding was done then, in thousands
were running,
Pushing aud d iving, Bob, Mary, and Jack,
Such flaring & rows, sir, old women with trousers,
And tight worsted jacketsstuck close to their back
In every station, grand illumination,
On the royal wedding day were to be seen,
Now they are united, may they never be blighted
Here's a health to the daughter of England's
Queen!
