Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - The Idler’s Calendar. Twelve Sonnets For The Months. February

UNDER THE SPEAKER'S GALLERY br br In all the comedy of human things br What is more mirthful than for those, who sit br Far from the great world's vain imaginings, br To mingle in its war of words and wit, br A listener here, when Greek meets Greek, Fox Pitt, br At question--time in the Queen's Parliament? br 'Tis the arena of old Rome. Here meet br More than mere Dacians on mere slaughter bent. br br Yonder and close to Mr. Speaker's chair, br Enfolding all things in a net of words, br Stands our first gymnast. Let the rest beware. br The Tory Stafford, with voice sweet as bird's, br Shall answer him anon, or bolder borne br And if luck favours, from the nether herds br A voice of patriot wrath shall rise in scorn, br Or even young Cassius blow his windy horn.
