HE BUILT A PALACE

He mixed sand and water and cement to make mortar.
He hauled hod after back-breaking hod up leg-aching ladders 80ft high.
He then scurried along the scaffold.
He laid and levelled brick upon brick.
He chisselled cold authority on a stony facade.

Clever bloke that Duke of Buckingham.
