To that fair poppy-covered isle,

And now brings lass with winsome smile,

And now a lovely boy, a treasure;

This must afford him constant pleasure.

As pedagogue he struts hereafter,

And trousers of the boys he pecks

With bill, rewarded then with laughter,

If naughtiness or prank detects;

But yet for their protection striving,

And serpents from the garden driving,
