Excerpt from Leviora: Being the Rhymes of a Successful Competitor

Facit indignatio versum. Fuzz. Sat. F. 65. H l for the palmy days, the days Of Old When Writers revelled in barbaric gold When each auspicious smile secured a gem From Merchant's store or Raja's diadem When 'neath the pankha frill the Court reclined, When 'am1ah wrote and Judges only signed Or, lordlier still, beneath a Virgin space Inscribed their names and hied them to the chase! Chained to the desk, the worn Civilian now Clears his parched throat and wipes his weary brow Bound by his oath at every boor's behest To hear, examine, sift, record, attest, Recite the whole in dialect uncouth, And dive in wells of perjury for truth Toil as he may, his guerdon is the same The scantest praise, the largest: meed of blame. Acquit? And brave the Superintendent's.
