Let internecine carnage vex

The gathering hosts of Poles and Czechs,

And Jugo-Slavs and Tyrolese

Impair the swart Italian's ease—

Me for Boar's Hill! These war-worn ears

Are deaf to cries for volunteers;

No Samuel Browne or British warm

Shall drape this svelte Apolline form

Till over Cumnor's outraged top

The actual shells begin to drop;
