  2. A Song about Furroor

    One evening for quite recreation

    I
    A Song about Frure
    One evening for quite recreation
    In-hailing the atmosphere pure
    In mirth and in keen relaxation
    I roamed through the townloand of Frure
    II
    Its bosom all clothed in verdure
    And decked with the flowery array
    Its hedges all glowed with splendour
    It being the sweet month of May
    III
    Its natives with scant education
    Looked pleasing quite gentle and free
    And possessed that for famed reputation
    As the Victoms of Kind Charity
