Illustration for a poem in once a week magazine. This king was in his counting-house at morning, counting, discounting, where stocks fall and rise; but now, at afternoon, his ledger scorning, , to his own vine and his own fig-tree flies. Proud princess poll brings him the rich havannah, to soothe his royal soul with pleasant reek. Pet princess meg discrowns him. Princess anna, brings him iced drink, and straws, and once a week. Date: 1859.
