When the run of the bowler is measured, / And he, with brows knotted, / Bowls fierce at your timber-yard treasured, / To pot, or be potted, / If the ball to the bone that is funny / Fly swift as a swallow, / And you squeal like a terrified bunny / As agonies follow:
Then, then is a capital season, / More fit than another, / Loose language of silly unreason / In courage to smother. / Clean speech is too frequently shamed / For Cricket to shame it! / One word is too often exclaimed / For you to exclaim it!
