…The so called noble persons face the inquiry commission!

in Cranston Close, adjacent to the tube station,

In spite of knowing pretty well that the snake
is of the nature of causing harm and distress,

sea splashing and dashing over the shore!
...

Even though the cat is as bold and strong as the tiger,
…it is of no use to live in a place where there are no rats
and the cat can’t get ample food to survive!
...
