Can you deduce the true subject(s) of the poem?
Of Meryham, Duke Weaver hails With Armors well-defined — His Page and Knight sport Sword alike, Formidably attired — Yet Little Roger, Fourth of name Has seen the World around — His Chevaliers — of Ampler sort — By Foil and Tuck do wound! Arena sedimentary — Two Units stand aface — Some forty-seven ten-thousands To twenty-six in brace— The Lords of Language duel afresh On trampled forest ground — How noble for my Providence! For Hand that reaches down!
