THE BELLES OF SWINDON. 167 



THE BELLES OF SWINDON 



(after ^' the bells of shandon.") 



With fond affection, 

 And recollection, 

 I often think of 



Those Swindon Belles, 

 Whose bright giance chains one, 

 Though not long- detains one, 

 Or to lose tlie train's one 



Of the safest*^ sells." 



Where'er I travel, 

 I can't unravel 

 What makes me cavil 



At all lines but thee ? 

 'Tis thy Belles of Swindon 

 At whom I've grinned, on 

 A pleasant journey 



To the West Countree. 



I've seen Belles starring-, 

 Full many a bar in, 

 When I enter dare in 



' To your '' Grand Hotels." 

 All with airs so striking". 

 Though to my liking 

 They sing but small to 



Those Swindon Belles.
