The Charge of Mestoph’s Appetite
I
Half a bite, half a bite,
Half a bite more,
All in the halls of Highbridge
Dined Mestoph the Knight
“Mestoph, of the Blue Rose is here!
Bring me some dessert!” he said.
In the halls of Highbridge
Dined Mestoph the Knight.
II
“Bring me some dessert!”
Was there a servant concerned?
Mestoph knew not.
Mestoph had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to serve, his to dine.
