William Gell mentions how the residence changed as the seat of Government moved from Castletown to Douglas and refers to some of the Lieutenant-Governors, including Lord Raglan, who took the post in 1902, and who was forced to leave under a cloud in 1918 - though Gell has seen only his affable side by the time of the poem.
