Dear bigede, The correct quotation is "Duke's son - cook's son - son of a hundred kings". It is a line from Rudyard Kipling's poem "The Absent-minded Beggar", written on 16 October 1899. You can learn about the background of this poem here [1]: http://www.sfowler.force9.co.uk/page_10.htm And you can read the full poem here [2]: http://www.sfowler.force9.co.uk/page_9.htm Hope this answers your question!
