Stalky & Co.

(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform Oct. 7, 2014)
"Let us now praise famous men"— Men of little showing— For their work continueth, And their work continueth, Greater than their knowing. Western wind and open surge Tore us from our mothers; Flung us on a naked shore (Twelve bleak houses by the shore! Seven summers by the shore!) 'Mid two hundred brothers. There we met with famous men Set in office o'er us. And they beat on us with rods— Faithfully with many rods— Daily beat us on with rods— For the love they bore us! Out of Egypt unto Troy— Over Himalaya— Far and sure our bands have gone— Hy-Brasil or Babylon, Islands of the Southern Run, And cities of Cathaia! And we all praise famous men— Ancients of the College; For they taught us common sense—- Tried to teach us common sense— Truth and God's Own Common Sense Which is more than knowledge! Each degree of Latitude Strung about Creation Seeth one (or more) of us, (Of one muster all of us— Of one master all of us—) Keen in his vocation.
