[Capricorn]
First name me the _Cinque Port_ that's nearest to France,
Where the Despot of Paris, would like to advance;
But he fears with the billows of Neptune to strive,
Well-knowing, he never shall get back alive.
Now an _Island_, where in the same shire you will find
An _University_ large, for great learning design'd;
The _island_ the prayers of a Bishop can claim,
And the _College_ boasts proudly of William Pitt's name.
Then a _College_ in Bucks, founded long time ago,
By Edward the Sixth, as the records will show.
Now the _birth-place_ of Henry the Fifth you may tell,
Who tho' wild as a Prince, as a King govern'd well;
Then name where the crooked backed Richard the Third
Was _conquer'd_, and where they his relics interr'd;
Then _where_ in these modern times it is known,
To view the horse-racing, that Royaltys shown;
Last tell me that _lovely unfortunate fair_,
Whom Henry the Second, protected with care;
Put these names together, perhaps you will find,
They'll tell you a month that to mirth is inclin'd.
