Where grew the arts of war and peace,
Where Delos rose, and Phoebus sprung!
Eternal summer gilds them yet,
But all, except their sun, is set.

Stringy Bark and Green Hide

But stringy bark and green hide, can beat it all to pieces.
Stringy bark and green hide, that will never fail yer!
Stringy bark and green hide, the mainstay of Australia.

When good, or bad, annex we to your name,
The greater honour, or the greater shame.

My eyes like blood, beware,
You will never be picked up again
From the ground, like useless tear.

The Fairy Singers stately tuned verse:
And viewing after Chap-mens wonted guise,
What strange contents the title did rehearse.
