At Yuletide all mythoughts are far remote Fromthingsthat suittheseasonoftheyear, \Nor heed the progress of the “ larger sphere” Though multitudes acclaimwith thundrous throat Whsn flashingforwards downthe touch line \ float, Or tall three-quarterstackle. Many atear Falls by that tomb whereon—(ah, words most drear!)— “ King Cricket sleeps awhile,” somemourner wrote. Yet, whentVecoldof Winter is o’erpast— WhenMarch’shaggardskies, awhirl with wind \ Tempestuouaypass from sight,—then shall we find 31ad Spring arrived, and Football shall be cast Into thevault thatCricket leaves at last, WhenChristmas, wrappedinhaze, lies far behind.
