XXV + 

Behold Sabouroff, whom the age + 

For baseness of the spirit scorns, + 

Saint Priest, who every album’s page + 

With blunted pencil-point adorns. + 

Another tribune of the ball + 

Hung like a print against the wall, + 

Pink as Palm Sunday cherubim, + 

Motionless, mute, tight-laced and trim. + 

The traveller, bird of passage he, + 

Stiff, overstarched and insolent, + 

Awakens secret merriment + 

By his embarrassed dignity⁠— + 

Mute glances interchanged aside + 

Meet punishment for him provide. + 
