  1. Dankie Janus

    And for us laymen…

    Pindaric ode = Ceremonious poem

    Perhaps we could get Armand to write one for TR’s wedding speech 😉

  2. I can see Boris reading this out. It’s right up his street. Mind you Janus, I think you could have written the equal. (I loved your table-cloth corners on the Swift poem!)

  3. For the serious nerds, this Greek one, Pindar-style, is ‘Alcaic’ in its metre. Old Horace did ’em in Latin too.

    NB the puns on Bolt and Coe, among others.

    AND Armand prefers the American spelling of skillful too!
