Farewel Kingsland, Islington, *
London,
Which I lov'd, and by it undone.
Farewel Buntingford, where are Thrushes,
Sweet Briers, shred Vines, private Bushes;
Hostess chearful, mildly moving,
Giving Tokens of her loving;
I must in another Nation
Take my fill of Recreation.
Farewel precious Stone and Chapel,
Where Stella shines more fresh than th'Apple:
Farewel Haywood, Bruerton, Ridglay,
Litchfield, Coventry, Coleshil, Edgway,
Meredin, Wakefield, farewel clean-a,
Medes and Metes of George à Green-a.
Farewel Clowne, Doncaster, Rothram,
Clapham, Ingleton, Waldron, Clothram,

--- These be my New Troy's dying Elegies.
Now to that New Troy bid adieu for ever,
Wine, Venus' Pictures, can allure me never,
These are Youth's Darlings, Age's Hoary griever,
Fare ye well for ever.
Farewel for ever, see you will I never,
Yet if Wife, Children, Money hurry thither,
Where we may plant and solace us together,
Welcome for ever.
