    With numbers of the Agnes train
    There not contented when circumvented
    Till they approach this delicious stream
    The smaller species of the feathered creatures
    By Hawk or Eagle was ne’er devoured
    But strains its throat with harminous notes
    In chanting praises of the Fame Delour

    For healthful bathing in any season
    It far surpasses the sea or spa
    If royal fairmaids would try experience
    From foreign waters they’ed soon withdraw,
    In those recesses they’ll find caresses
    Where true fertility displays its power
    For generation and population
