On hospitable thoughts intent
To me the Inner Temple sent
An invitation,
A garden party 'twas to be,

And for that dream to the end of my days
To Fancy I owe myself debtor.

Smile on us, shades of Judges short and tall
Portrayed on windows of the Temple Hall;
There was a time that ye grave thoughts resigned,...
