To build that tower at Tewkesbury bird-haunted:
Or ever rose that town of olden fame—
Ciceter, out of Roman arms and flame:
Before the older Bristol was begot
Of Keltic fathers: Caer Glow was a name.
Old Gloucester reigns the king of all the lot!
Caer Glow, “the splendid city,” so they called it,
Those funny beggars brilliant in woad;
And then the tramping Romans came and walled it
And called it Glevum, throwing many a road
