Is it settled so far?... «The Ring And The Book»
innashpitzberg5 июня 2013Is it settled so far? Settled or disturbed, Console yourselves: ’tis like... an instance, now! You’ve seen the puppets, of Place Navona, play — Punch and his mate — how threats pass, blows are dealt, And a crisis comes: the crowd or clap or hiss Accordingly as disposed for man or wife — When down the actors duck awhile perdue, Donning what novel rag-and-feather trim Best suits the next adventure, new effect: And — by the time the mob is on the move,
With something like a judgment pro and con, — There’s a whistle, up again the actors pop In t’other tatter with fresh-tinseled staves, To re-engage in one last worst fight more Shall show, what you thought tragedy was farce.
