To where the whilom victors dwell,

And play the game they love so well,

Foes worthy of their steel.

From the towers of stately Ballchester

Drives in young Tennyslorne,

From Pleycyngbury comes the heir,

And the young de Vorley’s horn

Is heard behind his spanking four

As he drives to the Pavilion door,
