“The Turkish war both far and near
Has played the very deuce then,
And little Al, the royal pal,
They say has turned a Russian;
Old Aberdeen, as may be seen,
Looks woeful pale and yellow,
And Old John Bull had his belly full
Of dirty Russian tallow.”

Chorus:

“We’ll send him home and make him groan,
Oh, Al! you’ve played the deuce then;
The German lad has acted sad
And turned tail with the Russians.”

“Last Monday night, all in a fright,
Al out of bed did tumble.
The German lad was raving mad,
How he did groan and grumble!
He cried to Vic, ‘I’ve cut my stick:
To St. Petersburg go right slap.’
When Vic, ’tis said, jumped out of bed,
And wopped him with her nightcap.”

From Lovely Albert! a broadside preserved at the British Museum.

“You Jolly Turks, now go to work,
And show the Bear your power.
It is rumoured over Britain’s isle
That A⁠⸺ is in the Tower;
The postmen some suspicion had,
And opened the two letters,
’Twas a pity sad the German lad
Should not have known much better!”

From Lovely Albert! a broadside preserved at the British Museum.

“Aberdeen spoke much of the Queen and Prince, of course with great praise. He said the Prince’s views were generally sound and wise, with one exception, which was his violent and incorrigible German unionism. He goes all lengths with Prussia.”⁠—The Greville Memoirs, VI, 305. ↩
