| And saw that gentle figure pass | B |
| By London Bridge his frequent way | A |
| They little knew what man he was | C |
| - | |
| The pointed beard the courteous mien | D |
| The equal port to high and low | E |
| All this they saw or might have seen | D |
| But not the light behind the brow | F |

| The doublet's modest gray or brown | G |
| The slender sword hilt's plain device | H |

| Few turned or none to scan him twice | H |

| Yet 't was the King of England's kings | I |
| The rest with all their pomps and trains | J |
| Are mouldered half remembered things | I |
| 'T is he alone that lives and reigns | J |
