Carlegion Chester, vaunts her holy Dee,
Yorke, many wonders of her Ouse can tell,
The Peake her Dove, whose bancks so fertill bee,
And Kent will say, her Medway doth excell.

Cotswoold commends her Isis and her Tame,
Our Northern borders boast of Tweeds faire flood,
Our Westerne parts extoll theyr Wilys fame,
And old Legea brags of Danish blood:
Ardens sweet Ankor let thy glory be,
That fayre Idea shee doth live by thee.
