Rural Architecture + 

There’s George Fisher, Charles Fleming, and Reginald Shore, + 

Three rosy-cheeked School-boys, the highest not more + 

Than the height of a Counsellor’s bag; + 

To the top of Great How did it please them to climb; + 

And there they built up, without mortar or lime, + 

A Man on the peak of the crag. + 

They built him of stones gathered up as they lay; + 

They built him and christened him all in one day, + 

An Urchin both vigorous and hale; + 

And so without scruple they called him Ralph Jones. + 

Now Ralph is renowned for the length of his bones; + 

The Magog of Legberthwaite dale. + 

Just half a week after, the wind sallied forth, + 

And, in anger or merriment, out of the North + 

Coming on with a terrible pother, + 

From the peak of the crag blew the Giant away. + 

And what did these School-boys?⁠—The very next day + 

They went and they built up another. + 
