If so to speak we may presume:

Likewise, a military stock;

Belt, sword, and coat—a tail or frock:

He stands in jack-boots like a rock.

Yet any thinker might suppose

He'd wear a different sort of clothes,

More ancient—classical—than those.

For this same God of Russia seeks

To be the God, too, of the Greeks.

Then why does he sport coat and breeks?
