Your olive-branches with you take,
And let them here their pastime make.
These scenes will ever seem more fair
When children's voices fill the air:
Or bring, as comrade in your stroll,
Your Dog, if under due control.

If, to the gentle art inclined,
To throw a fly you have a mind.
Send in your card and state your wish
To be allowed to catch a fish:
Or if the woodland to explore,
Pray seek permission at the door.
