 [minstrels] To a Fat Lady Seen From the Train -- Frances Cornford
Rather than employ the more modern custom of attempting to vary the reading of the repeated lines, Cornford structures the poem so that the repetition reads easily and naturally - it's not obscured, but it doesn't need to be, since it adds to, rather than detracts from, the poem.
As for the content of the poem, the "O fat white woman whom nobody loves" is rather jarring to modern sensibilities; I can't imagine it being too far otherwise even to her contemporaries.
From: "peter westcott" Some years ago PUNCH ran a competition on this poem, one of the entries suggested she was a cricketer - wicket keeper.

Cornford’s own theory went to the limit in this direction: ‘There can be no doubt that the Future is with the revolutionary participator and not the “impartial observer”, nor the romantic-Utopian idealist.’ And in practice he also went to the limit, to death at the head of a machine-gun section in Spain.
