[Scorpio]
I would have you that great _University_ name,
From whence many good scholars, have risen to fame;
Then _where William the Conqueror_, rested in peace,
And all his vexations in this world, did cease;
Then tell me the _River_, on whose verdant sides,
The noble, the merchant, the trader resides,
Whose opulent stream wild meandring flows,
Well laden with riches, to proud London goes:
Then _where_, the best medicine is to be had,
For those who are bitten, by dogs raving mad.
The fam'd _Wells_ in Derbyshire, which we are told,
Tho' close by each other, are one hot, t'other cold:
That _commotion_, which troubles the bowels of earth
And causes confusion, when 'ere it bursts forth;
Then a _place_ name in Berkshire, where Henry the first
Lays quietly resting, that Fates done her worst.
Join the first letters together, and soon they will make
A month, when its pleasant a ramble to take.
