| There was a landau deep and wide | A |
| Cushioned for Sleep's own self to sit on | B |
| The glory of the country side | A |
| From Tanner's End to Marlow Ditton | C |
| John of the broad and brandied cheek | D |
| Well I recall its eau de vie hues | E |
| Drove staid Sir Ralph five days a week | D |
| At speeds which we considered Jehu's | E |

| But now' poor John sleeps very sound | A |
| And neither hears nor smells the fuss | E |
| Of the young Squire's nine hundred pound | A |
| Er Mors communis omnibus | E |
| And I who in my daily stroll | F |
| Observe the reckless chauffeur crowd her | G |
| Laudator temporis extol | F |
| The times before the Act allowed her | G |
