Classic Poem

You claim a knighthood? True, your purse might bear it,
But then you have a brother who must share it;
To halve your paltry means were foolish, very,
Who takes two bites at such a paltry cherry?
One horse for both won't do — the scheme's a mad one.
Plague on your brother! Had you never had one,
You might be Castor; Pollux makes the trouble,
For though you count as one, you can't sit double;
To say " unus sedemus" makes one stammer,
It isn't common sense — or even grammar.
Follow the plan of Leda's sons — your brother
Might be a knight one day and you another.
