ODE ON THE DEATH OF HAIG'S HORSE: 3 by DOUGLAS GARMAN

First Line: SET UP THE STATUE: DULL AND STAID
Last Line: ANOTHER CIVIC STATUE'S MADE.
Subject(s): HAIG, DOUGLAS. 1ST EARL HAIG (1861-1928); HONOR; STATUES; TENNYSON, ALFRED (1809-1892); TENNYSON, ALFRED TENNYSON, 1ST BARON;
Set up the statue: dull and staid,
As fits an all too common jade,
Lo! our slow, slow decision's made,
And now the carping critics are dismayed
And now the public's piddling taste's displayed;
Another civic statue's made.
