168 TALES AND TRAITS OF SPORTING LIFE. 



For memory fleeting 

 O'er each kind greeting- 

 We took at meeting. 



As we took our tea, 

 Makes tlie Belles of Swindon 

 The best to tind on 

 The traveller — speaking* 

 Hibernice. 



All fashion's mould in 

 I've seen dames strolling, 

 Or in carriage rolling 



By the Serpentine. 

 I've seen these dames, too, 

 As they went St. James through, 

 In silk and satin 



Look might}' fine. 



But your look's more precious 

 Than any Duchess 

 Throws o'er the vulgar. 



Glancing haughtily; 

 Oh ! you Belles of Swindon, 

 Who so kindly tind on 

 An old chap up from 



The West Countree. 



There are Belles in masque go 

 To JuUien's last '* go," 

 When sainted Drury 



Weeps o'er their games ; 

 In turn Cremorne, too, 

 I've seen them borne to. 

 On the pleasant waters 



Of the river Thames.
