THE TWO WEDGWOODS
On the Front Opposition Bench (which great statesmen adorn)
Cheek by jowl with Mr. Asquith; J. R. Clynes and George Thorne;
Dark Ramsay of Aberavon; the learned member for Spen,
Sat jovial Josiah Wedgwood and bold Wedgwood Benn.
The toughness of salamander, and a monkey-gland vim,
The endurance and determination, both of Cromwell and Pym,
The persistence of twenty members, and the lung power of ten
Distinguished Josiah Wedgwood and stern Wedgwood Benn.
Did a foeman pause or stumble, or to error succumb
