“Cyclops Hill by Stewart Stafford To the cock-fights, O’er the briny pit, Grimy coin, grubby fist, Lip service i’ foaming fit. Fish or fowl, bestir them on, I’ll ne’er stop mine’s feat, An oracle for all-comers, Frolicsome backing i’ th’ heat. Odds be the usurer’s friend, Victor and vanquished spent, Trudge away in silent mourn, To kindly pay the tavern’s rent. © 2026, Stewart Stafford. All rights reserved.” — Stewart Stafford
Cyclops Hill by Stewart Stafford
To the cock-fights,
O’er the briny pit,
Grimy coin, grubby fist,
Lip service i’ foaming fit.
Fish or fowl, bestir them on,
I’ll ne’er stop mine’s feat,
An oracle for all-comers,
Frolicsome backing i’ th’ heat.
Odds be the usurer’s friend,
Victor and vanquished spent,
Trudge away in silent mourn,
To kindly pay the tavern’s rent.
