For straws and for caps.

Mr. Seagram, in Masterman Ready,

Is pictured in many a hole,

And in postures however unsteady,

With his chimney-pot hat on his poll;

And our highly respected grand-paters,

When wielding their golf-clubs or bats,

Or proving their prowess as skaters,

Wore cylinder hats.

Worn straight by the priggish or surly
