As on this pictured page I lookA
This pretty tale of line and hookA
As though it were a novel bookA
Amuses and engagesB
I know them both the boy and girlC
She is the daughter of the EarlC
The lad that has his hair in curlC
My lord the County's page asD
-
A pleasant place for such a pairE
The fields lie basking in the glareE
No breath of wind the heavy airE
Of lazy summer quickensF
Hard by you see the castle tallG
The village nestles round the wallG
As round about the hen its smallG
Young progeny of chickensF
-
It is too hot to pace the keepH
To climb the turret is too steepH
My lord the earl is dozing deepH
His noonday dinner overI
The postern warder is asleepH
Perhaps they've bribed him not to peepH
And so from out the gate they creepH
And cross the fields of cloverI
-
Their lines into the brook they launchJ
He lays his cloak upon a branchK
To guarantee his Lady BlancheK
's delicate complexionL
He takes his rapier from his haunchK
That beardless doughty champion staunchK
He'd drill it through the rival's paunchK
That question'd his affectionL
-
O heedless pair of sportsmen slackM
You never mark though trout or jackM
Or little foolish sticklebackM
Your baited snares may captureI
What care has SHE for line and hookM
She turns her back upon the brookM
Upon her lover's eyes to lookM
In sentimental raptureI
-
O loving pair as thus I gazeN
Upon the girl who smiles alwaysN
The little hand that ever playsN
Upon the lover's shoulderI
In looking at your pretty shapesO
A sort of envious wish escapesO
Such as the Fox had for the GrapesO
The Poet your beholderI
-
To be brave handsome twenty twoP
With nothing else on earth to doP
But all day long to bill and cooP
It were a pleasant callingM
And had I such a partner sweetQ
A tender heart for mine to beatQ
A gentle hand my clasp to meetQ
I'd let the world flow at my feetQ
And never heed its brawlingM
