    Long ago there lived in Windsor a poet named John Dooley. Here is one of his poems.
    You men and maids who range those groves
    I pray you now draw near,
    Whose heart was ever caught in love
    Or burden with care
    Come sit you on those primrose banks
    to hear a lovesick swaying
    Whose going to part now from his dear to never meet again.
