''Verse'' by Mr. David Hart

Be not harried by apostasy spates

Surcease ye flux of basilic imprecations

Adhibit ye ,supernal paracletes

The pith of divinity


An Achates,

Vae victis

In this temporal realm


Chatoyant fanfaronade

Sursurrant congeries

Erelong abate

Shun the gaffer's gammon

Arcadian maundering


Avaunt kaleidoscopic zealotry

Bandy a cutlass perfervid

Ex aequo et bono


Beneficence's glaive bandies.


Preside atheling echt

In pharos of Nestor


Bestow succor to the augean Boeothians!

Malign them not--for now come the celestial shower

To halidom, shepard, solace and anele

Ye benighted churls
