An Anthology of Czechoslovak Literature/Official Soirée at Prince X's
(2) Official Soirée at Prince X’s
With flash of uniforms. All ranks are here.
Some stand in clusters, others sit in state;
Flunkeys with wine and lemonade appear. . . .
Heels click and clash. See some bald baron prate
His tittle-tattle. Laughter. Some get clear
In starving pangs, some empty many a plate—
Cigars cram someone’s pockets at the rear.
