1When one with t’other straightaway agrees
2his exaltation shocked both youth and crone
3he bent right down and well what did he seize
4which neither time nor tide can long postpone
5And yet ’twas he the beggar Fate just flings
6filching the lolly country thrift helped save
7th’outrageous Thames a troubled arrow slings
8the nicest kids for strickiest toffees crave

10with quill white-collared through his life will jog
11and played their mountain croquet jungle chess
12Southern baroque’s seductive dialogue

14a wise loaf always knows its humblest crumb
