THE VISITORS' BOOK; BOURTON-ON-THE-WATER (AFTER LUNCH) by RONALD ARBUTHNOTT KNOX

First Line: THE PLACID WINDRUSH RUNNING BY
Last Line: WE'LL DRINK ALL BURTON OUT OF BEER.
Subject(s): OXFORD UNIVERSITY;

"THE placid Windrush running by
Attracts the weary traveller's eye";
So far I may with safety quote --
But not the weary traveller's throat.
Bourton on Water? Rather here
We'll drink all Burton out of Beer.
