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. The Pelagian Drinking Song
2. On the Ladies of Pixton
3. The World Is Full of Double Beds
4. The Bison
5. Kings live in Palaces, and Pigs in sties
