Belloc is good at epigrams:
The accursed power that stands on Privilege
(And goes with Women, and champagne and Bridge)
Broke - and Damocracy resumed her reign:
(Which goes with Bridge, and Women and Champagne).
I'm tired of Love: I'm still more tired of Rhyme.
But Money gives me pleasure al the time.
Good morning, Algernon: Good morning, Percy.
Good morning, Mrs Roebeck. Christ, have mercy!
