And there is London!--England's heart and soul. By the proud flowing of her famous Thames, She circulates through countless lands and isles Her greatness; gloriously she rules, At once the awe and sceptre of the world.
Robert Montgomery (1836). “Selections from the Poetical Works: With Introductory Remarks, and an Appendix Containing Extracts from Satires, Notes, &c”, p.125
