Who row with such grace in his trim-built randan?

I muse while the water is ebbing and flowing,

I silently smoke and serenely take stock

Of countless Thames toilers, now coming, now going,

Who take a pink ticket at Hambleden Lock!


[SPRING'S DELIGHTS.]

'Tis good-bye to comfort, to ease and prosperity,

Now Spring has set in with its usual severity!
