Letter from the Prince of Wales - 1810
Children and fools tell the truth
King George IV tot the Lords - In a letter from 1810 the Prince Regent, the later King George IV, wrote about his father, King George III: There he was sitting [in the House of Lords] on the Throne with his King's Crown on [..] and held his speech written out for him, just what he had to say. But, oh dear, he strode up and made a bow and began 'My Lords and Peacocks'

| The peacock's night cry. | |
| I'm rocking the crying child -- | |
| Vague feelings of grief. | |
| Nachtschreeuw van een pauw. | Nachtschrei eines Pfaus. |
| Ik wieg het huilende kind -- | Ich wiege das Kind, das weint -- |
| Onbestemd verdriet. | Unklare Trauer. |
