LORD HEYGATE

by: Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953)

      ord Heygate had a troubled face,
      His furniture was commonplace—
      The sort of Peer who well might pass
      For someone of the middle class.
      I do not think you want to hear
      About this unimportant Peer,
      So let us leave him to discourse
      About Lord Epsom and his horse.

"Lord Heygate" is reprinted from More Peers. Hilaire Belloc. London: Stephen Swift, 1911.
