You ramble on for miles 'mid gorse and heather,

Sheep hold athletic sports upon the down

(Which makes the mutton taste as tough as leather).

The place is guiltless, too, of horrid piers.

And likewise is not Christy-Minstrel tooney;

No soul-distressing strains disturb your ears.

(A German band has just played "Annie Rooney".)

The eggs as fresh as paint, the Cornish cream

The boys from school all say is "simply ripping."

The butter, so the girls declare, "a dream."
