32

Our Flouds-Queen Thames , for Ships & Swans is crowned
And stately Severne for her Shoare is praysed,
The Crystall Trent , for Foords and Fish renowned,
And Avons Fame, to Albions Cliffes is raysed,
Carlegion Chester vaunts her holy Dee ,
Yorke many Wonders of her Owse can tell,
The Peake her Dove , whose Bankes so fertile be,
And Kent will say, her Medway doth excell,
Cotswold commends her Isis to the Tame ,
Our Northerne Borders boast of Tweeds faire Floud,
Our Westerne Parts extoll their Wilis Fame,
And the old Lea brags of the Danish Bloud;
  Ardens sweet Ankor , let thy glory bee,
 That faire Idea onely lives by thee.English
