On the toast of the monarch
Was the test of the day
On the tradition of millennia
Was the shift to the people
Of the rise of the parliament
Lords have given them a way
Of the sense of justice
Commons ultimate hold strings
Of the mother of institutions
Relics old sigh cold
Of the warmth of the royalty
The Queen happily celebrated
Her eighty fourth birth day
