And the wealth of its soil has borne many another fruit:

“What sport shall we devise here in this garden
To drive away the heavy thought of care?”

From the juniors today,
And even swimming groups can fade,
Games mistresses turn grey.”

It will the woefullest division prove
That ever fell upon this cursed earth.”
