Having abdicated with comparative ease

And dismissed the greater part of your friends;

Escaped in a submarine

With a false beard, hoping the ports were watched.

How shall we greet your arrival;

For it isn't snowing

And no one will take you for a spy.

Of course we shall mention

Your annual camp for the Tutbury glass workers,

Your bird-photography phase, and the Dream at the Hook,

Even the winter in Prague though not very fully:

Your public refusal of a compass

Is fixed for to-morrow.

– W.H. Auden (1930)
