Poem by Hilaire Belloc

On a General Election

The accursed power which stands on Privilege
(And goes with Women, Champagne and Bridge)
Broke – and Democracy resumed her reign: 
(Which goes with Bridge and Women and Champagne). 

1. To the Balliol Men Still in Africa
2. Stanzas Written on Battersea Bridge during a South-Westerly Gale
3. Sarah Byng, Who Could Not Read and Was Tossed into a Thorny Hedge by a Bull
4. To Dives
5. The Fanatic
