“Shrewd Lawyers love within its folds
To practice night and day;
Richer Bankers change it into gold
in a financial way;
Great men of thought and letters on
The milk white surface trace.
Rich jewels and precious gems are bound
within its soft embrace.
Poets-princes and Conservators,
Painters and Bookish binders,
They undo what we all do
Down by the River Len.”
