Charles Cotton: Burlesque upon the Great Frost

Burlesque upon the Great Frost

Two towns, that long that war had raged
Being at football now engaged
For honour, as both sides pretend,
Left the brave trial to be ended
Till the next thaw for they were frozen
On either part at least a dozen,
With a good handsome space between 'em
Like Rollerich stones, if you've seen 'em
And could no more run, kick, or trip ye
Than I can quaff off Aganippe.

Charles Cotton (1630-1687)

(Any resemblance to recent club 'acquisitions' purely coincidental :-)
