Come, Stockhore, you're the poet,

If ere you'd pen a grateful lay,

'Tis now the time to show it;

Such usage kind, in these good towns,

We've met from age and youth, sirs,

Accept our heartfelt thanks, and once

A poet sings the truth, sirs.

Fal lal, &c.

Ye lasses too, of all I see,

Ye're fairest in the nation;
