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