Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFCC| Our flood's queen Thames for ships and swans is crown'd | A |
| And stately Severn for her shore is prais'd | B |
| The crystal Trent for fords and fish renown'd | A |
| And Avon's fame to Albion's cliffs is rais'd | B |
| Carlegion Chester vaunts her holy Dee | C |
| York many wonders of her Ouse can tell | D |
| The Peak her Dove whose banks so fertile be | C |
| And Kent will say her Medway doth excell | D |
| Cotswold commends her Isis to the Thame | E |
| Our Northern borders boast of Tweed's fair flood | F |
| Our Western parts extol their Wylye's fame | E |
| And the old Lea brags of the Danish blood | F |
| Arden's sweet Anker let thy glory be | C |
| That fair Idea only lives by thee | C |
