From playboy Chance the nymph no longer flees
His nasal ecstasy beats best Cologne
Forms shadowy with indecision wheeze
Which neither time nor tide can long postpone
The frisian Isles my friends are cherised things
Rejecting ermine to become a knave
Th'outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
Victorious worms grind all into the grave
The wolf devours both sheep and shepherdess
In indian summers Englishmen drink grog
The country lane just thrives on farmyard mess
But I can understand you Brogher Gog
On fish-slab whale nor seal has never swum
And lessors' dates have all too short a sum
