Ce) BALLADE OF WHIST
It is no time for jibe or pun,
But to beseech the sod
To yawn for you, who did not shun
To reckon on the odd.
L’ENVOI
At Ulm the troops of Mack
Surrendered in a bod-
Y, in a cul-de-sac,
At Bonaparte’s attack ;
Be wary lest, strong clod,!
You reckon on the odd.
1 The author is indebted to Mr Francis Thompson for this felicitous and,
withal, epigrammatic way of writing ‘‘ man.”
