I see no more the country's riot,

But the comparatively still

Environment of Ludgate Hill.

There, 'mongst the pigeons of St. Paul's,

I muse melodious madrigals,

Or loiter where the waters sport

'Mid the cool joys of Fountain Court,

Where, undisturbed by sharp "Pip, pip!"

My nimble numbers lightly trip,

And country peace I find again
