From the dense crowd hustling by:

While the minxes at Mugby Bar,

Smiled, serene, upon the war,

For they’d learnt the art,

And looked the part—

Of “We are your betters far.”

But in Pullman’s dining-car, Sir,

Now run on the Northern Line,

You’ve a soup, and a roast and entrées,

And your cheese and your pint of wine.
