Further, further, every day;
And the crowded City grows—well not a heaven,
Where there is no room for play.
So, if Cricketers and Footballers, who gather,
Find Town Children space for sport,
Punch will be extremely pleased with them; so, rather,
Will the thralls of lane and court.
Alfred Lyttleton, so keen behind the wicket;
Lord Kinnaird, who once was hot upon the ball,
Give our Arabs chance of football and of cricket.
