*****

But thou, farewell, my Bob! whose thin wove thatch

Was stor’d with quips and cranks, and wanton wiles,

That love to live within the one-curled scratch,

With fun and all the family of smiles.

*****

No more the wherry feels my stroke so true;

At skittles in a grizzle, can I play?

Woodstock, farewell! and Wallingford adieu!

Where many a scheme relieved the lingering day.
