own amusing story. From Lord Roehampton, who suffers from a vocal cord injury during a political endeavor, to Lord Chase, who becomes embroiled in a libel case, the poems blend humor with subtle critique of social norms. Other characters include the hapless Lord Epsom, who has a misadventure with a horse, and Lord Lucky, whose sudden rise to wealth results from an accidental shooting.
