Hermann-Paul, « Barbarie. Civilisation », Le Cri de Paris, n° 1900, 7/10/1899, 

“The Two Emperors; Or, the Christian Czar and the Heathen Chinee.”

[…]

So one Emperor stones

His poor Israelites,

Whilst the other one owns

Even Christians have “rights,”

And, although they’re (of course) “foreign devils,”

Their peace with good-will he requites.

Which is why, I maintain

(And my language is free)

That the CZAR, though he’s vain

Of his Or-tho-dox-y,

Might learn from his Emperor cousin,

Though he’s only a Heathen Chinee!

 - Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 101, August 22, 1891.
