And in the cottage field,
This game of games to English hearts,
Its healthy joys shall yield;
And oft at eve, when stumps are drawn,
The fragrant weed shall glow;
As ye tell, how they fell,
Where the ripping swift uns go;
Or the crafty Clark with peerless twist
Sends in his teazers slow.
From Hints to Freshmen in the University of Oxford. J. Vincent.
