Of Belcher, Cribb, or Spring,
To you, whose sire turns up his eyes
At mention of the Ring?
The train journey to Farnborough in the grey dawn, the company, and the fight itself are, however, described with spirit:—
Not only fighting covies,
But sporting swells besides—
Dukes, Lords, M.P.'s and Guardsmen,
With county beaks besides;
And tongues that sway our Senators
