Till, on emergence, what affronts our gaze?

Priory—Conqueror—Abbey-for-the-Males—

Hey, presto, pass, who conjured all away?

—Yes, but à l'Anglaise, as they compliment!

Grass like green velvet, gravel-walks like gold,

Bosses of shrubs, embosomings of flowers,

Lead you—through sprinkled trees of tiny breed

Disporting, within reach of coverture.

By some habitual acquiescent oak
