Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNNO| Thou who the verdant plain dost traverse here | A |
| While Thames among his willows from thy view | B |
| Retires o stranger stay thee and the scene | C |
| Around contemplate well This is the place | D |
| Where England's ancient barons clad in arms | E |
| And stern with conquest from their tyrant king | F |
| Then render'd tame did challenge and secure | G |
| The charter of thy freedom Pass not on | H |
| Till thou hast bless'd their memory and paid | I |
| Those thanks which God appointed the reward | J |
| Of public virtue and if chance thy home | K |
| Salute thee with a father's honour'd name | L |
| Go call thy sons instruct them what a debt | M |
| They owe their ancestors and make them swear | N |
| To pay it by transmitting down intire | N |
| Those sacred rights to which themselves were born | O |
