English Woodstock had a palace + 

Where the Queen in jealous malice + 

Slew romance’s fairest flower, + 

Fair Rosamond in secret bower; + 

Our Woodstock pleasing county town, + 

This brings it both wealth and renown, + 

To your strong castle some are sent + 

To give them leisure to repent. + 

A charming vista you do view + 

Gazing on each street and avenue, + 

Mansions and lawn embowered ’mong trees + 

Where wealthy owners live at ease, + 

And through the air there sweetly floats + 

Harmonious Woodstock organ notes, + 

And men employment secure + 

In factory for furniture; + 

Old Oxford is a seat of knowledge, + 

Woodstock has a fine new college, + 

And farm implement work shops, + 

So farmers easy reap their crops; + 

The old court house is a disgrace, + 

Grand structure soon will take its place. + 
