Before thy trunk is rift;

That each may wear upon his brow,

Like thine—an honest mark,

And so retain, as thou dost now,

The pride of “Bagot’s Park.”[98]

[91] Supposed to be more than two centuries old.

[92] In Staffordshire.

[93] Another very large oak, called the “Queen.”

[94] The King.

[95] About twenty-four feet round, as measured by the author (of the poem) and his friend, Mr. E. Emery, of Abbots Bromley.
