Cistercians might crack their sides
With laughter, and exemption get,
At sight of heroes clasping brides,
And hearing — O the horn! the horn!
The horn of their obstructive debt!
But quit the stage, that note applies
For sermons cosmopolitan,
Hernani. Have we filched our prize,
Forgetting...? O the horn! the horn!
The horn of the Old Gentleman!
