Warm enough, perhaps, to grill an

Englishman, O muddy Milan!

Now I find you soaking wet,

Underneath an English sky;

Pavements, mediæval yet,

Whence mud splashes ever fly;

And, to make one damp and ill, an

Endless downpour, muddy Milan!

Though you boast such works of art,

Where is that unclouded sky?
