I need hardly remark it was glorious weather,

And flitterbats waver'd alow, above:

Boats were curtseying, rising, bowing,

(Boats in that climate are so polite),

And sands were a ribbon of green endowing,

And oh, the sundazzle on bark and bight!

Thro' the rare red heather we danced together,

(O love my Willie!) and smelt for flowers:

I must mention again it was gorgeous weather,

Rhymes are so scarce in this world of ours:
