Further of course by the beach-shaded road—

Little Bellhaven contentedly lay,

Easily reached from our pleasant abode.

Therein a Library ladies frequent;

Therein a club where the men read the news;

Also a chamber where, lit from above,

Balls white and crimson disport on green baize,

That capital game which gentlemen love,
