from To the City of London
Above all rivers they river hath renown,Whose beryl streames, pleasant and preclare,Under thy lusty walles runneth down;Where many a swan doth swim with winges fair,Where many a barge doth sail, and row with oar,Where many a ship doth rest with top-royal.O town of townes, patron and not compare,London, thou art the flower of Cities all.
