Home to the Gravesend beaux and city "gents:"
A dinner for a shilling, rifles, swings,
Baronial halls, arbours, and canvas tents!
Where comic gentleman, or lady, sings,
And Baron Nathan some fresh dance invents;[[1]]
Or brave toxophilites the longbow draw,
And strive to hit the Albert Tell of straw.[[2]]
Sweet Eden! which for fivepence we may gain,
Or there and back for ninepence by the Star;
Upon whose deck, released from sacks and grain,
