" ' And here the oak and ivy you may see, Poppies and tulips their bright blossoms show, Star after star of wild anemone In groups of beauty lovingly do grow. " ' Or rather, seem to grow ; for, strange to tell, These wondrous flow'rs are made of oaken tree, And deftly carved, ay, marvellously well, And joyous birds amongen them there be. " ' The cunnynge carver is a worthy wight, Yclepped Rogers, "wondrous wise " I ween; Nature he loves, and art is his delight, Or such a work as this had never ...been. " ' Natheless his tools he oftentimes will quit, To quote Longinus or some classic lore, Study philosophy or Holy Writ, Soldier-historians and bards of yore. ' " And much more they said, but much more than I heard, For now I could scarcely distinguish a word, For they spoke altogether, and all in a breath, And I pretty nearly was tired to death. " But I found by the words I caught up here and there, They were talking of our most worshipful mayor, Of princes and queens, and kings and protectors, Of bishops and popes, and archbishops and rectors.
