Since we were young as you.
Then welcome to our spacious Hall! 5
Tom, Bessy, Mary, welcome all!
Though removed from busy men,
Yea lonesome as the foxes’ den,
’Tis a place for joyance fit,
For frolic games and inborn wit. 10
’Twas nature built this hall of ours;
She shap’d the bank; she framed the bowers
That close it all around;
