Lines on Beachville + 

Of Beachville, village of the plain, + 

We now will sing a short refrain, + 

For here the Thames doth pleasant flow, + 

And charm to landscape doth bestow; + 

Though river here it is not deep, + 

Yet banks slope graceful up the steep, + 

And from the summit of the hills + 

You look down on the famed lime kilns, + 

And ’tis full worthy poet’s rhyme + 

The whiteness of your pure white lime, + 

Your glory never shall be gone + 

While you have quarries of this stone, + 

In influence you yet will wax + 

With mills for flour and also flax. + 
