Billiard-marker (awed by rank of visitor—a foreign prince who has joined in a game of pool). "SHOULD I CALL 'IM 'YER ROYAL 'IGHNESS, SIR, OR 'SPOT YALLER'?"
THE HAIRIES.
We have carried our lancer's, hussars and dragoons
And tugged in the batteries, columns and trains,
On pavé that smoked under white summer noons
And tracks that washed out under black winter rains.
We've shivered in standings hock-deep in the mud,
With matted tails turned to the drift of the sleet;
