Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGSo went our boys when EDWARD SIXTH the King | A |
Chartered CHRIST'S HOSPITAL and died And so | B |
Full fifteen generations in a string | A |
Of heirs to his bequest have had to go | B |
Thus CAMDEN showed and BARNES and STILLING FLEET | C |
And RICHARDSON that bade our LOVELACE be | D |
The little ELIA thus in NEWGATE STREET | C |
Thus to his GENEVIEVE young S T C | D |
With thousands else that wandering up and down | E |
Quaint privileged liked and reputed well | F |
Made the great School a part of LONDON TOWN | E |
Patent as PAUL'S and vital as BOW BELL | F |
The old School nearing exile day by day | G |
To certain clay lands somewhere HORSHAM way | G |
