CRICKET IN VERSE.

Though cricket is the national} game, it has not yet inspired a roem which has won inclusion in any repro- sentative anthology. Yet, though the greatest of our poete spared it not oven a passing reference in all his worke, the poems and congs about it are many and date back to the very early eighteenth century. Of well knows posts a fow at least have made a modest mention of the game. Byron in "Hours of Idleness," speaks of "Cricket's Manly Toil"; as is well known he played (and very badly, too, so says one account) in the first Eton and Harrow match, and his famous four line riply to the Eton gibe on the Harrow defeat is too well known to

Turning cow to more amateur versé, we find occasional reference to some' of the great matches at Lord's and the leading figures that took part in them. No game is more often fast- ezed upon as a turning point in cricket history than that in which, in a single day of the year 1878, the Australian eleven, then an unknown quantity, met and defeated by nine wickets a aide of the MC.C. and Ground which might almost have done duty for All England. The champion, then at the height of his glory, failed signally in both inninga-an event so unusual as to inspire "Punch" as follows:-

The Australian came down like a

wolf on the fold.

The Marylebone crocks for a trifle

were bowled,

Our Grace before dinner was very

soon done,

And Grace, after dinner, did Lot get

a run.

be quoted here. The grandfather of ject of innumerable laya. last year's English captain was no Trevor's entertaining volume "The player himself, and in one of bis Lighter Side of Cricket," opens with poems commits himself to the rather an ode in his honour?- CoLfusing statement that "a herd of boys with clamour bonled, and stumpt the wicket."

Wordsworth, so far as I csu discover, never referred to the game: admitted- Jy the Lake District, his greatest source of inspiration, is neither in climate nor terrain favourable to the bateman, but such a conspiracy of silence is at least regrettable in the uncle of two famous Winchester and Harrow captains, the latter of whom was the prime mover in organising the firet University match.

Another famous character men- tioned in this poem was Mr. Benjamin Ailable; he was for many years secretary of the AL.C.O., he captained the M.C.C, side which played against Tom Brown's Rugby XI., and he wae

master of repartee and original "vera libre "at cricket luncheons and dinners; as a player the poet sings of him:-

In thus beginning his second stanza, the author perhaps had memories of that earlier day when the champion, Of later years, A. E. Honman has, for reasons then sufficiently obvious in "The Shropshire Lad."made cricket was also known as The Only Ruler contribute to one of those rather of Princes!" Honour is also paid melancholy, but most arresting little to him in one of Norman Gale's de

poems

Now in Maytime to the wicket,

to the great Kant Bateman Faller Pilch, and Thomas Bragley, the Hampabire man who made the first century in the Gentlemen v. Players match at Lord's.

The Varsity match has yet to find a worthy laureate, though the jubilee oda celebrating the names of Words- worth and Jenner is well known. But Eton v. Harrow has in-pired some of lightful "Cricket Songs," and in the the best poems on the game, for the parodied now. Pope'a translation of cident gave that great song-writers samo refmia Douglas Moffat has combination of atmosphere and in the lied and now Byron's "The Isles Harrovian, EE. Bowen, a theme of Greco."
