Of vintage no one could cry fie on,

Has been drunk by good men of the old-fashioned sort

At the "Lion"!

O, sweet is the exquisite lime-scented breeze

Awaft o'er the Remenham reaches!

What lullaby lurks in the music of trees,

The concert of poplars and beeches!

Shall I go for a row, or lounge in a punt,

The stream—half asleep—throw a fly on?

Or watch pretty girls feed the cygnets in front
