    John Gilpin was a citizen
    Of credit and renown,
    A train-band captain eke was he
    Of famous London town.

    This city now doth, like a garment, wear
    The beauty of the morning; silent bare,
    Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie
    Open unto the fields and to the sky;
    All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
