 [minstrels] The General Public -- Stephen Vincent Benet
The image of a howling mob of boys baying for Shelley's blood is at once a vivid and starkly visceral picture, and an apt metaphor for (at least according to Benet) society's treatment of the poet.
This is underscored by the twist in the last three lines - the narrator's somewhat awed tone when describing Shelley contrasts strongly with the fact that he was one of the mob.
In the end, 'The General Public' is both a comment on mob psychology, and a rather pointed depiction of what, exactly, it means to 'see Shelley plain'.

 General Public
Lured away from the struggling Beat by their record label, the two put together General Public with musicians Stoker, Micky Billingham, Horace Panter and Kevin White.
A year after leaving the Beat the promises of pop success were realized with their debut album, "All the Rage." While more of a pop band then the Beat, the music of General Public was a logical next step for Roger and Wakeling.
The infectious ska beats of their earlier days as the Beat had already been toned down significantly on the Beat's 1982 album "Special Beat Service," and the slicker sound had fared well in the US.
