Explore "Lord Lundy. (Second Canto)" by Hilaire Belloc on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It happened to Lord Lundy then, / As happens to so many men: / Towards the age of twenty-six, / They shoved him into politics; / In which profession he commanded / The income that his rank demanded / In turn as Secretary for / India, the Colonies, and War.
But very soon his friends began / To doubt if he were quite the man: / Thus, if a member rose to say / (As members do from day to day), / "Arising out of that reply.!"
